Im in need of help. I have had my 240 for quite a while, recently had it rebuilt and drove great. One random day it decides to shut off while I was in motion. I did resarch and some testing, batery, alternator, and starter were all fine. I now have already replaced the distributor, wires, ignitor coil, ignitor module, and one knock sensor. It will run for a while during test drives and it was all great but it still shuts off randomly. Can anyone think of anything I havent checked?

try a different ECU, sounds to me that ECU could be bad.. just ask a buddy for his and try it.... it wont hurt or cost you anything..

check IAC or EGR. Stuck open Egr could cause this.. food for thought


good luck brother

What about a fuel pump? It does get fuel to the engine maybe its just going out.
