I had an '85 240 that did the same thing. I replaced the AMM and that helped it a lot. On cold winter days the car was always slow to accelerate. Mine didn't really show the usual signs of a bad AMM (like stalling or no start), so you might want to check the connector on the AMM to make sure some of the pins aren't getting pushed back into the wiring boot. Does your car foul plugs if you try and drive it from cold (like it's loading up)?

Cheers,
Dave
