1984 240 dl
 
hello everyone! i recently inherited an '84 240 DL, I understand that the age of the vehicle is quite old, as well as the fact that it had been sitting for years. I am working on getting it running. I have replaced the fuel, spark plugs, battery, and now checking the vacuum lines. I am looking for any tips and possible further guidance as to what to do next and what to look for. it doesn't start on the first turn over, it takes a few times, then once it starts it will idle by itself, at times pressing the gas will give the impression its going to die, then it doesn't. I'm green with cars, yet eager beyond to learn. I would greatly appreciate assistance. Thank you!
