Low Idle?
In January I purchased a used 89 200. I love the car and have had many
wonderful experiences driving it around town. Recently I've been
noticing that the car is idling at, what I consider to be a low speed.
Here is what happens:
When I first start the car, the engine idles around 1000-1100
rpm. When the temperature reaches normal running temperature or above,
the idle drops down to the 600 rpm area. The car starts to rattle a bit,
but I don't have the feeling that it is going to stall out. Is this the
normal idle process for this car, or could I have a problem?
Another thing completely unrelated..
The Bass from my stereo is killing the back seat passengers.
Every person I drive around in the back tells me that there is way too
much bass, even if I turn the bass all the way down. Lately I've started
to notice the excessive bass presence. The car has the Bose 6 speaker
system, any suggestions how I might reduce this irritation.
Thanks.
