My 86 240 had a simular problem. It would start run poorly die. This process repeated for 2 or 3 trys. Then I would get it to chug and with feathering of the throttle in 30 or 40 seconds it was ready to go. I replaced the coolant temperature sensor and it corrected the problem for about a month. Then the AMM started to fail and the problem returned. I then replaced the AMM and now the car starts and idles about 1700 RPM when very cold outside. The car now runs like a champion.

So to summarize check the AMM and the Coolant temp sensor. It may save you some frustration.
