posted by  someone claiming to be big mike on  Sat Aug 30 09:06 CST 2003 [RELATED]

CAR RAN GREAT AS USUALLY TO WORK.THIS AFTERNOON IT WOULD START EVERY TIME BUT DIE RIGHT AWAY. NO IDLE AT ALL!THANX TO READING THE BRICKBOARD, I REMEMBERED THAT "LIMP HOME MODE" FOR SOME REASON! AFTER CHECKING ALL VAC.HOSES ETC., I UNPLUGGED THE AMM. IT STARTED AGAIN AND IDLED !! IT RAN ALMOST NORMAL THE WHOLE WAY HOME. DO YOU THINK THE AMM IS SUSPECT? THE CAR DID STUMBLE A FEW TIMES WITH NO POWER ON ACCELERATION LAST WEEK. A WARNING FOR TODAYS FAIURE?? ALSO WHAT FAILS IN THE AAMM?? AND WHAT IS A GOOD PARTS SOURCE? THANX GUYS ;O)

    Mike,

    likely an AMM problem... check to make sure that the airbox thermostat is good and not sending hot air from off the exhaust manifold to the AMM... that will fry them for sure.

    Best place to get AMM's are pick 'n' pulls or off ebay,

    search for: volvo 240 AMM

    Not many good reports of rebuilt AMM's on brickboard, so should stay clear of them... better to buy new if you're going to spend that much money!

    Good Luck!
