1990 240 Stalling and Dying 200 1990

I have a 1990 240 Wagon with over 200K miles on it. Recently, when it was driven on a long trip, the engine started surging and then died completely. We tried to start it - and after a couple of tries - it started again, but continued to surge. Then after a couple of miles it died again. We let it sit for about an hour and it started right up.

This happened once before, so we have replaced the following. The Fuel Pump Relay, O2 sensor, intake manifold gasket, spark plug wires, and flame trap. The car has codes of 232 and 113, which from my reading is the fuel is too rich.

In doing a search for these codes, it would lead me to a vacuum leak. However, that does not seem to explain why the car dies. I have not replaced the fuel filter, but was planning to do this on the weekend.

Does anyone else have ideas of what to check? I will check the vacuum, but again, that does not seem to explain why it dies.

Thanks for the help.

Rodney
