Greetings!

(1989 volvo 240)- IS MY ECU going bad?? check it out..

I have been having issues with idling (once i start it, it will shut off -more often than not- if I don't hit the gas)..

Also, when I am stopped and pressing gas to go, it will often NOT move, feel weak, and sort of scoot, slowly..).. I'll press the gas more and luckily it will kick in.. it gets better as the car warms up.. say 10 minutes into my morning drive..

It has been getting progressively worse.. at first it'd be here and there, while driving, or after stopping and going again.. now it's becoming the norm..

I ran the diagnostic tests for the LH 2.4 today.

For the fuel injection test, I got a 2-3-2, which indicated the fuel trim was too lean/too rich.. I recently had a no start issue and my mechanic said it was a bad fuel pump, replaced the main fuel pump/new filter.. (the other fuel pump was replaced not too long ago)..

Here is the CRAZY diagnostic test.. Diagnostic Test Mode 3: Injection System Component Activation Test(In socket 2, where you press it 3x... )Once I did the 3 initial presses, it began flashing SO fast I couldn't count, making a ticking sound, then paused and gave me 11 quick flashes/ticks, and then another 11 or so..

My dad thinks my ECU may be going bad.. which is apparently the only complaint people have about the 89' 240..

any help is appreciated.. thank you so much..
