A rough idle, engine speed that hunts up and down, or an engine that stalls at idle can point to a tired idle governor or a sooty idle valve – both are common check points on the 240 from 1985 onward, often with the B230 engine. This category gathers the parts around idle control so that air and fuel delivery stay steady at idle and during cold starts.

The group includes idle governors and idle valves, the associated hoses and hose clamps (clamp/hose clamp), plus nuts and rubber mounts for the suspension. A brittle or sucking hose in the governor circuit will readily produce the same symptoms as a worn valve, so it pays to check the hoses and clamps at the same time as the governor is cleaned or replaced. The model year determines the version – check against the car.
