Volvo Brothers ans Sisters:
I was recently vacationing in Southern New England and had to have some work done on my 1991 245 (coolant temp sensor, throttle body cleaned). When I got the car back it ran well, however the idle speed varies. While in Drive the idle is normal 775-800 rpm. When I put the transmission in Park, the idle remains normal for about 10 seconds and then jumps to 1000-1100 rpm. This has never done this before. Is this normal or is something askew? what is up?

By the way I was most pleased to see the number of 240 cars on the road in Mass and RI.

Yours, John

Could be something as simple as the vac line to the pressure regulator being loose, disconnected or broken. Ask me how I know.....
