240 running issue 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Hawkone115 on  Tue Jan 29 19:50 CST 2013 [RELATED]

Wife is on way home from work when the ole 240 dl putters then dies. She trys to restart, engine starts drives 5-6 blocks them dies again. Leaves vehicle on side of road until I get home, It sits for about hour and a half. I getto where she left it on road and I start it and I drive it home about 8 miles, I notice it sputter or jerks between 2-3 gear, but does not die. It sputters uphill a littleunder load, I got it in garage checked distributor for cracks nothing found, it does smell a little rich on the fuel. Noticed while driving in the other day in cold weather the idle was a little elevated, but it is not now.
I checked distributor first because previous experience tells me when weather temps go up and down distributors sometime crack. It was 75 here yesterday now 43 degrees. i started vehicle three more times starts right up, little rough but not bad. Any thoughts?
Ted

    Hey Ted,

    We could guess more accurately if we knew what kind of 240 you are asking about. Is it a '75? Is it a 93? They are all a little different from each other in what are sometimes very significant ways.

    There's a year selection above, just like the model selection. It helps us if you use it throughout the thread.
