My 88 245 has been running poorly as of late. It will not hold an idle when it is cold, and the engine power surges and drops out as it is driven. In the last couple weeks the car has has its good days and bad days as I have tried to diagnose the problem. I drive the car 100 miles a day, and today as I prepared to return home, the car would barely run/start/idle. After poking around the engine compartment for the um-teenth time, I pulled the connector harness to the AMM, and the engine ran much better(it would idle)..I limped home. The car has had recent tune(plugs, rotor, cap, fuel filter...) and ran fine until one afternoon about a month ago
Questions:
1.Can I be fairly certain that the AMM is shot.
2.aside from finding one at a salvage yard, where is a good place to find one(fast) Partsbin has one for 170$ or so...other prices are much higher.

Thanks,

Steve in Minnesota
