Question on '88 240 wagon.

Check the fuel relay first, actually it is as easy as a 740, it's just different. Pull the panel off above the passenger footwell behind the glovebox (assuming LHD) and it's clipped to the firewall, usually a white box. Pop the cover off and inspect the soldering on the back of it.

Do you have a tach? If so look and see if the needle drops like a rock when the engine stumbles, if it does then look towards the ignition system.

Check the intake air duct (from Air-filter - AirMassMeter to throttle body) for splits or cracks.

Got this tip on the Brickboard forum when experiencing similar problems, turned out to be a crack in the air hose just before the air-mass-meter

When accelerating fast, the engings toruques so the crack widens and false air is sucked in, engines stalls and begins to hop.

Good Luck Frank

I had a similer problem on a '82 240 wagon, none of the parts were bad and I replaced the fuel pumps and the relay. Finaly figured out that it was a wire short by the main fuel pump, just wiggle it a bit and the fuel pump goes on and off. So if all else fails check the wireing from the relays to the pumps, with the car running wiggle each wire around a bit, expecially where they go around bends or where they may move a lot. If the car suddenly dies you have found a short.
