Idles, dies, radio is haunted 200

1987 Volvo 245 DL

Ive been having electrical problems for more than 2 years and they
have been increasing in scope and scale until now the car is parked.

Currently I can crank the car and it will sit and idle 1-2 minutes and eventually die. If I touch the accelerator the engine will die. Before it got this bad, it would drive fine but stumble with power losses, and then normal power resumption.

The radio has been trying to load a CD around the clock off and on for more than 4 years. The radio has no face plate, and after a day or two of sitting with no driving this activity kills the battery.

Ive gave it a tune up with all new bosch parts. Bosch single electrode pins, new wires, caps, coil, the works. The fuel filter was recently changed.

Im at a loss as to what to do next....

advice appreciated

JoJo
