My 1986 240 has been exhibiting an intermittent power loss for a couple of months. Car will start and run fine, then in the middle of driving (doesn't need to be going uphill or anything), it would seem as if the car starts to bog down. Sometimes, on acceleration from a stop, it feels like it is in the limp home mode. I have tried a spare AMM, replaced the AMM contacts, cleaned all of the contacts that I can find, changed the rotor and cap, resoldered the fuel relay(the pumps and reg are 6 months old), and problem persists. I am ready to pull my hair out (wish I had some to pull on). I do not know what to try next? Please, I need suggestions.
