My 1987 240 has very slow acceleration. I have a 1987 240dl automatic. I just bought it. it was parked for 3 years. I drained the tank. Changed plugs, cap and rotor. It idles fairly well. But when I put it in drive, it takes a full 30 seconds to go from zero to 25 mph. It will get up to 55 mph but that takes about a minute. No smoke from tailpipe. Sounds normal when its idling. I think the air intake is okay. Nothing disconnected, no holes in the air intake system. Could it be dirty injectors, possibly stuck from 3 years of sitting?
