So the trip from Ontario to Ohio for the weekend went just fine until today on our way back. First, a stupid rock came up and put a quarter-size ding in the windsheild. That made me mad enough, as I spent $175 to replace the windsheild only 2 years ago. Then, to make matters worse, when we pulled over to go to the bathroom the car wouldn't drop the idle below 2000rpm. To add to that, when I got back home and was going from the fiancee's place to mine, the car would barely start. It takes a lot of cranking, then it'll kinda futz around for a while and almost stall, then it goes to the high idle again. The car is an '86 240DL sedan with M46. Any good ideas on that? I'm rather angry about it. I've never had any problems with idle at all. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. thanks,

Nate Gundy
