Ready to give up on my 240 :( 200 1987

Well, the airbox thermostat has been disconnected since I've owned the car. It has been fine with it disconnected before. So I don't think the problem is there. The car also passed emissions okay last year with it disabled.

I'll look at the harness a little more carefully, and maybe check the torque on the intake manifold bolts when the motor is warm. The piping from the meter to the throttle body is also okay. I checked it when I replaced the manifold gaskets.

I also had a problem with the connector at the distributor as well. However, it ended up being an internal problem with the hall sensor...the part that extends from the side of the distributor. You could nudge on that part, and the motor would cut out. I bought a used distributor and everything has been fine. Also, the wiring going to it, as well as the connector itself, was very well inspected. I replaced the sheaving all the way back to where it splits off into the engine harness.

Thanks for the ideas
Jack
