83 turbo just started a couple of weeks ago after driving about 20 miles at a time and shut off and re-started would die, and would have to rev it up to keep it running, did that about 3 or 4 times. been starting okay when cold. I change the Valve cover gasket because of oil leak, and after re-assembly and making sure all hoses etc; were re-connected, Has good spark from plug wires, I do not hear anything when key is turned to on position from the fuel pump, car will not start, acts like it wants to, tries to fire at times, and also acts like it is flooded at times, so I push the gas peddle half way to floor as book states but still will not start, could the fuel pump relay and/or fuel pump be the problem, any suggestions would be helpful. thanks in advance. Tricky

My 83 240 did the same thing. AFTER I got rid of it, I think I found the problem. It has an in tank filter on the fuel pick up. It may have gotten clogged because I could get "old blue" to run by spraying injector cleaner into the throttle body.

I hope this helps.

I really liked the 240. In fact, I might get one this week to replace an 850 that was totaled last week.
