Re: 91 740 just died

Are you saying that the car won't run now?
What happens when you try to start the engine?

Re: 91 740 just died

Have you removed the distributor cap and clean and dried the inside?
Pulled the plug wires and cleaned and dried them and their connections?
What shape are the spark plugs in?

Re: 1986 240DL starts but won't idle longer than about a sec
