my 240s idles really weird. it either idles really high or really low. most of the time tho when its in neutral it idles so low that the car is about to die. does anyone know what could be the cause of this?

Search man.

Could be vacuum leaks, check all your vacuum lines for cracks, or if you're lucky start your car, and try to listen for them for the general direction to give you a better idea.

Maf sensor, grab some CRC maf cleaner, works well. Like 6 bucks at most stores. take off the maf (connected to air box) check the electrical connector too. even if that doesn't fix it might get a little better gas mileage. (your MAF could also just be shot)

IACV. There's a nice write up on cleaning it but it's the larger of the 2 hoses running off your intake right before the throttle body, buy some intake cleaner (not carb cleaner) and take that hose off enough so it doesn't die, keep the therottle up with the cable right on the left of the intake, spray about half a bottle of it in that hose while keeping it from dying.

Theres other, buti gotta go home, i'm at work.
