My 1992 240 has developed a rhyming idle (speeds up and slows down in a rhyming manner). This has been going on for a couple of weeks and is almost to the point where the engine will no longer run.
Any and all thoughts and advice will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Check to see if any vacuum hoses have fallen off or cracked, this is the most common cause of that problem.
If the car has a mass air flow sensor(located on the intake tube) try tapping on it with the handle of a screww driver. If the idle levels the sensor is bad. Or you could be looking at a bad Idle air valve. Agian try tapping on the valve and see what happens. It probalby wouldn't hurt to clean the throttle body too.
