Put you thinking caps on.

Several years ago I bought a '84 240 with a bad rod. Didn't need it at the

time,but picked it up reasonable. The car ran good enought to load on

trailor.

I recently decieded to get it running and put in a good short block[used the

orginal head,injection,and all wiring]. The car started once,ran a minute

and died. It won't restart. Left it and worked on other projects for a

couple of weeks.

Yesterday got my books out and started detective work.Checked all fuses

inside,changed fuel filter by rear axle,cleaned a electrical termanals

around battery and fuel pump relay.

Started and ran about 30 sec and died,won't resart. Left it for 3

hours,unplugged AMM and the car started and ran several minutes until I

turned it off. Would not restart. Left 3 hours,plugged in AMM and it started

ran 30 sec and died,won't resart. Left 3 hours ,plugged in AMM and once

again started and ran. Left it idel for about 15 minutes, surged as it

ideled. Turned off and would not restart.

I am thinking some thing else beside the AMM is acting up. What are your

ideas?

Thanks
