intermittent miss 200 1987

The car (130,000 miles) has a miss which at times is just a single hiccup and at other times you would think the pistons are swapping holes. Then again, it might run just fine for 10 miles. It makes no difference if the car is cold or hot, it starts fine, has never stalled completly and never acts up at idle or when hooked up to diagnostic equipment in the shop. The two mechanics are as baffled as I am. So far these items have been eliminated or replaced...fuel filter, plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires, ox sensor, air mass meter. Fuel pressure is ok. Wiring harness was looked at too. The only things which are out of specs. are vacuumn (which is low at all speeds 315.3-321.4 mbl.) and the spark duration which is high 2.71-2.87. Any ideas????? Thanks

    Hi! Consider the in-tank fuel pump! This pump may be bad (or just a broken hose) causing shortage of fuel supply to the main fuel pump. This problem is common for 240s at high mileage. The fix would involve opening the top of the fuel tank and remove the wire and fuel line assembly. Many previous posts have discussed the procedures. Good luck!
