Didn't read all of the other posts so forgive me if this has already been addressed, but I would like to elaborate further on one of Mr.Nabisco's comments. There might be more involved than just a bad fuse.

I owned a 1990 240 for 11 years. Very reliable for a long time then suddenly it started stalling out occasionally on the road and also had difficulty starting sometimes. Thanks to the BB, I discovered that I might have a bad 25 amp blade (Fuel Injection) fuse. It is the one located under the hood behind the battery. Replaced fuse but I continued to have problems. Looked harder and found the fuseholder was corroded and the wiring didn't look great. So I replaced the fuseholder and fixed the wiring (usually red) that runs to it from the battery. Ahhh - finally had a reliable vehicle again!

Quick diagnostic test is when the car is running jiggle the red wires. If it starts to stall you probably have a bad fuse and/or corrosion problem with fuseholder and wiring.
