1983 240 GL Will start but doesn't like to stay running.
So my 83 240 GL is having an issue.
She will start up, but not stay running. It started about a week ago by just dying at red lights. Now it doesn't matter where or when, It will just quit.
I was able to drive it with the over drive off and in 1st gear.
I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, alternator, air filter, and cleaned out the air intake. (Which I found a yellow liquid in) I even checked for a vacuum leak on all hoses.
I unplugged the Mass airflow sensor while it was running and the engine changed to a slow surge.
Right now it idles just below 1000 RPM. Runs for 30 seconds and shuts off. If I put it in gear, it also shuts off.
Whew...
Thanks!

Sorry I couldn't recall when they started. I used to have a 83 240 and still have a set of factory manuals. I'll see if I can find something there.
