So I just had a 5 speed swap done on my 93 240 and I get it back and they tell me the radiator is cracked. Drove it and it ran good aside from the radiator. So I put in a new radiator and when I start it, it idles very rough and just wants to die and does unless I give it gas.If I try to take off it just sputters hard. I thought maybe I didnt hook something back up properly but everything looked fine when I double checked.

you must of disconnected / knocked somthing loose because just swapin out the radiator wouldent cause any of those problems.

i agree with Shabbernigdo, check the MAF, and hoses to the intake make sure they're on tight
