My 1991 245 130k will not run and this has me stumped.
Here's a list of symptoms:
If I let it sit for a day or so it will restart.
When it starts, it runs fine, unless you open the throttle wide-open, then it dies. If you gradually open the throttle, it will rev fine. It will not restart unless it sits for a day or so. I tried unplugging the AMM and restarting but this does no good. The fuel pump fuse is good. The battery is good. No fault codes. It seems to be getting spark (otherwise it wouldn't start in the first place?) Anyone have any ideas?(other than an oily rag in the gas tank and a lighter) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
