I took my 97' 960 to the Volvo dealer (first time since I've owned it; used), to have the timing belt replaced (@149kmls). They advised me before they were done with it that they had hooked it up to the OCB and found a code saying that the air mass meter sensor needed to be replaced; it was going to be an additional 300 something. We talked about what this meant to me (drive and safety) wise; I declinded with the reasoning that I could not afford this at this time. Got my car back... the rough idling (of course), continued. A few weeks later I bought a new (Volvo, $217+tx) air mass meter sensor and installed it myself. ABSOLUTELY DID NOT fix the problem!?!? Any thoughts/suggestions on how I should handle this?
97 960 idling rough; stalling at low RPM speed?!?

Air Mass meter is not as important at idle as the EGR valve, vacuum leaks, or MAP sensor (if equipped with one, not sure it is in your car)
