My 1989 240 just started running rough after engine start and I have to pump the accellerator until it warms up, then it runs O.K. but not great. Also oil light flickers but a mechanic said that is normal. Any ideas?

When was the last tune-up?

Get the coolant temperature and throttle position sensors and idle speed control valve/motor
