I am stumped, my 1986 240 will start and idle OK, as soon as you give it gas the engine shuts down. I have replaced the in tank fuel pump, fuel filter with no improvement. Initial checks of the fuel pressure regulator looks good, amm seems ok. If you gently apply the throttle the engine will rev up OK, but normal appication of throttle kills the engine. All vacumn lines check good, Could this be an ignition issue. Any suggestions on where to troubleshoot next or hint at what I am dealing with would be greatly appreciated
