I have a 1982 240 that ran fine last night when I parked it. Then this morning I attempted to start it and It died immediately. I tried again and kept my foot on the gas, It would stay running this time but only if I kept my foot on the gas, And even then It would skip bad and backfire through the air cleaner. If I took my foot off the gas it would stall out and wouldnt start again for 30 minutes or so. It has good spark plugs,wires,cap,and rotor. The only problem I know of is a crack in the distributer (on the surface were thecap screws to).
I can't figure out what could have happened overnight because it ran so perfect the night before. The fuel pump is working and it is a 240gl with mechanical fuel injection. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
