That is the longest sentence I have ever read. Punctuation?

Timing?

+1 on timing. My 240 recently had this issue. Was off a tooth. Poor acceleration, milage, etc. The other thing is possibly the lift pump on the tank. If its slowing down it wont her enough fuel. If it dies completely the car wont run. Last check the main relay. I recently had a 240 in and he said it just won't run like it did.the solder around one of the pins rattled and cracked. Made poor connection and didn't her enough fuel to run smmooth. A dab of solder fixes it up nice.
