Hot weather stalling. Is this characteristic of these Swedish cars? 200

My 84 was a total hot weather problem car. The PO told me it would be, and it was- for years. I went through all the components you mentioned, and more, and what fixed it was replacing the ECU, (the unit by the window washer reservoir). My symptom was bogging way down after long driving in hot weather. It chugged and then wouldn't go more than 10-15 mph until I gave it a rest.

I just thought I should mention another option that didn't get brought up. All your 240's having this problem is beyond me.
