So is it bogging down or jumping? Also what year is your 240? For the tach issue just use the search button.

Sounds more or less to be hesitation, do your basic tune up, check timing and use the search buttons. Lots of threads cover this type of thing, good luck op.

My coupe is doing this, or what it sounds like yours is doin.Mine is my 3rd cylinder fuel injector. Not sure what it exactly it is but I know it is that one because when i play with it (rotate) it changes the running of the car...Im just to lazy to take the 5 mins to change it for the umptine billion others ive got.oh and for your tach issue, crawl under your car and make sure all your sensor are hooked to your transmission and not cut.
