So I bought a 240 blind from the JY because the body was in great shape and was told it "started right up". I have been trying to get it to run decently for the last few days and am wondering if any of you had any insight into what might be causing it to run so rough. The car in question is a 1992 240 with a b230 engine being controlled by LH 2.4, and EZK ECUs. The issue at hand is that the car will barely idle, stumble, pop, and shake, and that is with my foot depressing the gas pedal. With AMM unplugged it will oscillate from almost dying to 1500 RPMS. I am getting 2 codes, 123 AND 224, both indicative of bad temp sensor, but would that really make the car run so horribly?
Things I have checked:
Fuel pump relay (I can hear fuel pump activating with key in pos II)
Compression was 115, 115, 120, 120 from cyl 1 to 4, this was on a completely cold engine
swapped AMM with a known working one from my 940
Checked for vac leaks and found none
checked for fuel at rail and pressure seemed okay
Coil is producing spark
Wires seem okay
I know there is more to test, but I have never seen a 240 run this poorly, and I was honestly expecting some kind of compression issue given the horrible sounds it makes. Maybe one of you has some kind of insight that could help me get this car running again.
Thanks!
