Wife called today w/ 245 running poorly after rain; thought it was wires; she said then it suddenly started running OK; drove 20 miles fine; parked for 5 hrs(no rain now); broke down after going 2 miles; put in new wires to no avail; disconnecting AMM (while off) made idle much better, but still ran poor (can't get up hill), borrowed AMM from '91 244 (son's girlfriend just bought one, said NOW she feels part of the family)(4 Volvos); after swapping AMM still runs poorly, barely starts but disconnecting AMM helps idle! Can't get up hill in "limp home" mode but it can't be the AMM anyways. What's going on? TIA.
