k had the same problem with my 240 the clip that hold the maf plug on was like bend and loose so it would lose contact with the maf just check to see if the plug is loose and also since it has a distributor get it to warm up and spray the wires and cap with water if it dies replace what u sprayed ---

Have had similar problems with one of our coupes that is automatic: ``` These problems were found : -1st time #4 injector was not receiving a signal - turned out to be rotted out pins on a chip in the ECU due to moisture 2nd time- IACV needed a good cleaning 3rd time #3 injector stopped working (had signal but was not pulsing) ``` hope this helps ---

ok so my dad thinks it could be a cracked distributer as when rpm`s are low and i`m lightly on gas the car bogs hard which if a have a cracked dis. then it would not be making enough spark ie. flood engine then when i get hard on gas there is no problems does this sound reasonable? ---
