Bad AMM? 200 1988

Hello All,

When I got back to my '88 245 at the end of the day, it would start, then die. When it did start, it did not sound normal - very high revs, and died as soon as I took my foot off the pedal. I disconnected the AMM plug, and the car started, but the engine was racing, so I didn't want to drive it like that. Came back another day with a used AMM I purchased several years ago. I put that in and there was no change - could be bad of course. I ordered one from Ebay (seller named eccpp autoparts) that says it's new and it was only $35. Could that be?

Anyway, while I'm waiting for that one to arrive, is there anything else I could try? Also, in a search, I saw someone post that you're supposed to disconnect the battery when you replace or unplug the AMM. Is that true? Could I have zapped the second one I put in?

Thanks!
VV
