1985 240 DL wagon - fuel level goes to empty and car dies
I have a 1985 240 DL wagon with an odd problem. When I started the car the fuel gauge read correctly, then as I was driving the gauge dropped to empty and the car stalled and almost died, I feathered the gas pedal and the gauge slowly rose to accurate, I was able to get to work. After work the car had to be jumped off, while I was letting it idle it died. I jumped it off again and made it home (less than 2 miles) the fuel gauge was fluctuating slowly during the drive home. I'm at a loss!
About 6 weeks ago I replaced the fuel relay under the dash, the accordian hose on the in-tank fuel pump, and replaced the 25 amp engine fuse. After those repairs the car ran like a champ until a couple of days ago when the above decribed situation occured.
