Died while moving - won't restart - basic diagnostics? 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul in VA on  Mon Mar 31 11:21 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hope this hasn't been beat to death - searching the site I could only find FAQs for the 700/900 series.

1987 240 DL, 4 cyl., fuel injection. The car was stalling on rare occassion while moving and gas additive seemed to help. Yesterday the car stalled while moving and will not restart. I have a good spark at the distributor cap but that's about the limit of my diagnostic skills. What's the next logical step(s) to identifying the problem? I don't want to pay for a repair if I can possibly avoid it.

Thanks for your recommendations and advice.

Paul
