a friend just told me about his 240 having what sounds like a fuel delivery problem.... it starts ok, runs for a few blocks or even a few miles, then dies. He pulls over, shuts it down, then restarts it without any problem, only to have it happen again a few blocks later. I suggested he check the fuel pump relay and even the pump(s). Could also be a plugged fuel filter, I suppose.
The odd thing is that this has happened in the past, generally after having the plugs and plug wires replaced. Makes me think that a vacuum line might be involved, getting dislodged during the plug wire replacement, although you'd think the shop would catch that when he told them of the problem.....
Any other suggestions I can pass on to him?
