ok, so i bought my 240 about a year ago not long after i got my license and it was fine at first then when i put it in netural, like to stop behind a car or a stop sign, the rpms go down to almost 0 and sometimes it bounces back and idles and sometime it just stalls out. iv checked the injectors, changed the distributor, changed about 10,000 vaccum lines and it still does it.....wtf is going on??!! is it the ECU maybe? PLZ HELP!!

Thanks!!

sound like an idle air control valve...look there man..to be shure..go to a junk yard and get a few used ones and install them ..if it no longer does it..you know for shure..if it still has the same result..then your only out like $3. bucks or so on a used one...thats the only advice i could give ya..good luck man..hope ya get it worked out.
