1986 245, B230F, LH2.2, AW70
My 240 has developed an intermittent driveability issue. The power will cut out and cut back in about once a second if I go over 3000 rpm or if there is a decent load on the engine (steep on ramp is enough to trigger it). Sometimes (when ever I'm trying to diagnose it) the problem will go away. The car has no problems idling but when the issue is occurring it will nearly die and the rpms will drop to a few hundred if I have the throttle depressed. Also, restarting the car will generally take care of the problem for a while until it comes back. I don't even know where to start really. Anyone have a similar problem?
Based on how quickly the engine cuts in and out I suspect an ignition problem. Any ideas are appreciated.
