'93 240 wagon has a hard time starting.(cold and warm) cranks for a long time then finally starts. (usually takes 3-4 times until the engine fires up)
also, the engine stalls when I accelerate. say when I come to a stop sign I stop, then start to go again the engine sputters and stalls. This happens in drive and reverse.

I have new spark plugs, wires, rotor, fuel pump relay. I have had the throttle body cleaned and the crank position sensor changed.

any suggestions on what else I should try would be awesome.

    With the car off, disconnect the AMM if no change in symptoms, probably bad, or replace with known good one from the junk yard.

      If the Air Mass Meter is toast, there is also a good chance that the thermostat in the air intake box has failed. When that little thermostat fails, it feeds the intake a constant diet of heated air off the little oven on the exhaust manifold. That in turn accelerates the demise the the AMM.
