Try checking the air mass meter. Disconnect the plug on the AMM and then try starting the engine. If it starts ok and idles well, the AMM is likely bad. This is not a cheap part but you can replace it easily yourself. There is information in the archives about setting the mixture adjustment on it. I just replaced the AMM in my son's '88 240 and it was the second '88 240 I've had to do this on.

I think the AMM runs about $170US for a Bosch rebuilt.
