Don Foster: Thanks for the info on the 86 240Dl SW. We two very elderly gentleman again took down the timing belt cover and all its accroutments and very meticiously aligned the sprockets first to the marks on the belt cover then to the crank shaft mark. However, when we attempted to align the marks on the belt proper, there wa no way that the sprocket marks would align to the cover marks. I could have one or the other but not both together, In other words, to keep the sprockets aligned to the cover alignment marks, the belt mark had to be one notch off...period. I got the engine to start with one or the other, so I then opted to accept the sprocket to cover alignment and disregarded the belt marks. The car started and idled very well. Upon road testing we could acclerate to 35-50 and it ran smoothly, then it would die. The AMM is ok, but the throtle position sensor is ?, as is the antiknock sensor. The oxygen sensor is good, the fuel pump relay is new asis the fuel pressure regulator. We have been on this problem now for three weeks and are almost ready to apply a 357 magnum enema to the engine block.

Thanks again for you past and future help recommendations.. Rocky Doc
