I just had my AMM fail last week. It must be the Season of the Witch....... Or just plain age. These things seem to go out from age, not useage or miles. The symtoms were erratic cruise, missing at full throttle, but checked out fine at idle. My wagon has 255k on it and after 15 yrs, and yours now 17 yrs, you should treat yourself to a good one. When you make a decision to get new or used one, the word out there is that the aftermarket ones are garbage, and the rebuilt Bosch at over $220, not worth the expense, time and hassle after shipping and core charge, and shipping the old one back.
A good used one will run better than an aftermarket one, but remember it's still at least 16 yrs old since the 007 was replaced by the 016 which I have.
What did I do? I went to the Volvo dealer and got a Volvo/Bosch re-built. After using my Volvo for Life coupons, it was $260 out the door, and the swap was done in 5 minutes in the parking lot. If you intend on driving it for a long while to come, this is what I would reccomend.
