sounds like it might be a vacuum leak... check all of your rubber lines in the car to make sure none of them are broken or dry rotted... replace any of them that you find are bad...

if that isn't it, check you plugs and wires.

Sounds like your AIV is dirty, alot of 240 experienced this problem. Its the little black box near your power steering resivour ( how ever you spell that )
go on www.********** and click on FAQS and look for AIV.
Peace!
