hi all.
the good news is that i got my bertone up to par to get it on the road! oil leak fixed, heater fixed, coolant leak fixed...
the bad news is that today was the first day that my girlfriend was supposed to start driving my old 240, and it gave us trouble.
we're in new england, it's rainy and in the 40s today. started the 240 to go to work this morning, and it got up the long driveway fine, but when she turned to leave the driveway it stalled. battery seemed pretty low when i was cranking it so i jumped it. it cranked for a long time but didn't fire. after about 3 tries i got it to start but it took a while and it sounded weird. let it run for a minute and it stalled when she tried driving it again. any ideas? is this because of the rain? battery/alternator? i do get a squeel sometimes with it, and i know that can either be slipping belts or an alternator on its way out..please help! we need two cars!!
