Engine starts then will not idle. It does run poorly if the throttle is worked. If the throttle is not constantly pumped the engine dies.

I had a 1990 240 DL that acted the exact same way and was real weak on acceleration. Try putting a new mass air flow sensor in, it fixed mine and those always go bad on those cars.
