Re: What the hell??!? 200 88

posted by  someone claiming to be Don Foster on  Mon Nov 20 12:55 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Could be a failing master cylinder (maybe the warning light thingy has also failed). It could be a frozen rear caliper. It could be a failed flex hose to the differential (the one feeding the rear PS caliper).

Diagnostics would help anser the question.

Doesn't sound like a bad diff. And those things almost never fail on the 240s.

"...engine would race up to about 2100 rpm...could the kick-down cable I have been meaning the replace be the culperate?"

Of the high idle? No. But a gummed up CIS motor (aka IAV) could.

"Could my car just be on crack?"

No doubt that's it!
