So, my '91 240 wagon has been trying to stall when it idles down at a stop light. The other day it even stalled out mid-turn, when I took my foot off the accelerator. I have been burning a little oil lately, but I can't really address that problem until I can keep it running. I tried changing the spark plugs, I used a fuel injector cleaner in the gas, and I cleaned the throttle body and idle control valve as another member suggested a couple of years ago when I had a similar problem, but nothing has helped so far. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Muz
