i have a 91 240 recently did a tune up and now it stalls all the time, only while the engine is under load though, it’ll idle forever. Just wondering if any of you guys have had the same problem or have heard about this. oh and another thing, it starts back up right away i just let it coast in neutral and it will start and go for a while, then die again.

Try looking at the MAF sensor.

if not the sensor, maybe a fuel filter problem?? If they didn’t change that during the tuneup.

just make sure everything is snug and there is no air geting into your intake between the throttle body and your maf. The slightest leak will mess things up.

I’m not quite sure what style filter the 240s use, but if it’s inline like most other cars you should double check that you didn’t hook it up backwards.

Well I’m not too familiar like I said about the KA’s yet. But on my old car it was a 91 GTA I had problems that sound similar, the prob on mine was a weak electronic fuel pump. Once I changed that it was good, till I had other problems with the Throttle Body sensor.
