240 stalls 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be gerard on  Thu Jan 10 05:22 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Help! My 240 continues to stall unexpectedly after highway driving, but usually restarts after a few minutes. I recently replaced the mass flow sensor, but the car continues to stall. Morning startup is not a problem. Anyone had this problem? Thanks in advance for taking time to respond. I'm completely frustrated.

I had the same problem this week, it would start hesitating at odd times. Added some dry gas (isopropyl) and the problem is slowly going away. Ironically, got the offending tank by treating the car to some Amoco instead of the convenience store crap I usually buy.

If that doesn't solve it these things could also be culprits:

-FP relay, as Haroon said
-declining flywheel sensor (if yours has a white paintmark on the cable it's the faulty one, yellow is good and means it's probably already been replaced)
-one of the fuel pumps is gone/going. if it still runs it's likely to be the in-tank one
-corrosion in your fuse panel, which could cause an intermittent condition

resolder or replace the fuel pump relay.
