I've been unable to figure out what's causing this: my '87 240 has developed a habit of dying at red lights. It's a manual trans. If I depress the clutch while it's coasting down to the light, maybe 1500-2000 rpm, it dies. It's as if it's trying to drop to idle but it overshoots, doesn't catch itself and dies. If I leave it in gear until the rpms are around 600-700 and then depress the clutch, it doesn't die. What's going on? When it does catch itself, it idles just fine. It makes no sense to me. Any ideas?
