Tonight my 86, 240 with 235000, manual with O/D started to die after startup. I could only go about 30 mph tops. Replaced the fuel pump relay, no change. I unplugged the AMM and restarted, the car ran terribly. I plugged it back in and drove the 20 miles to home. Now I'm thinking (Bentley in the trunk) plugged cat,
fuel pump, wires, fuses,??? Am I on the right track? Will check tomorrow PM. Any thoughts appreciated.

Ricko, is your gas tank less than 1/2 full? Same symptoms with my wife's '83 2wks ago. Two things were wrong. The in-tank pump was bad (seized and couldn't free it up) and the 1" fuel line from it was laying in the bottom of the tank ! Fixed it quick, 'cause I had one on hand. Tom

It was less than 1/2 full, I filled it, no change. I'm in the midst of gutting another 86 for parts, so I have what I need if I can figure what that need might be. Thanks for the response.

check how your spark plugs look, and how your plug cables are.
Maybe some vacuum hoses are not good?
Check air filter
