I had a similar issue with my 240. I pulled out the EGR valves and cleaned them up real good. Made sure the vacume hoses were clean as well. Then I pulled the MAF and cleaned it with some MAF sensor cleaner and also cleaned out the throttle body area. It made a world of difference for me. I would give that a shot. If that not the problem it cost you next to nothing and that stuff could use a good cleaning from time to time anyway.
