Howdy fellow Brickheads, got a strange/new engine running problem here.
1989 240, car starts but then a soon as I increase rpms the engine dies then runs ect... almost sounds like its hitting a rev. limiter (but not) The spark tester (light between coil and cap ) indicates spark energy the whole time the engine runs through out this cycle. : I have all ready replaced the ECU with a up-rated unit (951 ?) to fix another problem. This problem is intermittent, sometime the car runs fine. The TPS is covered in oil (from another problem , overflow from engine dipstick) The CPS has a white stripe (newer type ?) Will a faulty CPS shut down the injectors ?? BTW NO codes . The problem seems fuel related not spark. Already tried swapping the FP relay with no change. Ideas ??
thanks

peter in PA
