Saab: AMM

I suspect my 1988 9000i 2,0 air mass meter has decided it has had enough
(after only 325 500 kms, POS!). It is a Bosch 0 280 212 011. I find several
other AMMs on eBay, with numbers ending in 005 and 013. Are these
interchangeable? Does anyone have a 011 they want to donate or sell? I can't
pay a lot, but can fork up a few bucks if needed.

There are many reasons for poor running, so it is important to identify
the exact cause of the problem, otherwise you can end up spending a fortune
replacing almost everything. This sometimes happens! Some years back I had
various poor running problems, but once sorted, the car has been exemplary.

The garage wanted to change the AMM. But they didn't have the correct model.
However, after a while he came back and said that they found that it was
just the connector. Have they had the correct AMM, then they would just have
replaced it for £250 and I would have been none the wiser. I'm quite sure
that this mechanic was very good, it only shows that poor running problems
can be a headache even for a seasoned mechanic.

1. It could be a connector to a sensor.
2. It could be the CAT. It may be blocked - check if it rattles.
3. It could be the head gasket.
4. It could be a vacuum leak.
5. It could be the DI.
6. It could be something else.
