Hello,
We shipped our 240 87 wagon over to France 5 years ago from LA. It has run very well!
On Sunday afternoon I took it for a 10 minute journey. 2 hours later, I returned home. Later that eveing I was unable to start it. Perhaps I should say that it seemd to start, but it would not run...I had to keep pumping on the accelerator to keep it running, but it was very jerky. If I let off on the accelarator, it died.
Today I did the following:
1) Checked for good spark - no problem
2) Removed fuses #4 and #6 and inspected and cleaned and also cleaned the contacts of the fuse holders for those slots. Re-inserted fuses.
3) Inspected the large fuse behind the battery. OK
4) Removed fuse #4 and jumpered a wire from fuse #6 to the right and left of fuse slots #4. I could hear 2 different "buzzing" sounds. Re-inserted fuse #4
5) Disconnected the lower hose from the fuel tank/pump(s) that feeds the fuel injectors via a small vacum control. Observed little or no flow when cranking the engine.
Now the engine does not even begin to start as it did earlier.
Comments, questions, suggestions?
Thanks, Bart
