Default 91 CQ: Noticed some wierd behavior this morning >>>

I finally fixed the coolant leak (a cut in the hose that goes from the upper rad to the flange that holds the coolant temp sensor) and put in a new coolant temp sensor. Car was running fine until this morning.

I start the car up and when I turn the steering, it has these abrupt jerky moves. After driving for a minute it feels normal again. But when the car is moving, it has these abrupt jerks- it may drive smooth for a while and then have these abrupt jerks. When starting from a standstill, it seems to have these jerks too.

Any ideas?

Tx.

Default Tightened up the V-belt and that seems to have fixed the symptom >>>

based on a short test drive. Thanks Tom!

Hopefully it should hold this time around.
