Hey guys I have a 1995 240 w/ sr red top. Only runs on starter fluid but dies right after. I put in a new igniter, spark plugs, fuel pump, new battery and cas and nothing. I've checked all the grounds and still nothing. Thanks

Sounds like your injectors aren't firing or you've got a bad fuel pressure regulator. Have you verified fuel pressure? Can you pull the fuel rail and see if they are spraying fuel while you crank?

Can you clarify/further describe "a little weird"? Maybe take a video?

It goes from 900 rpm to 1300 up and down

I'd look for vacuum leaks as a start.
