The output specs must be out there - either Bosch or commercial AMM remanufacturing companies - but likely impossible to obtain (even more so w/the inner working/micro component specs). I don't believe - but am not sure - that they are in the Saab Factory Manual Section 2:3; Fuel System - Fuel Injection 81-93; PN 03 48 425 From "Bosch Fuel Injection and Engine Management" by Charles O. Probst; ISBN: 0837603005 "With engine running at normal temperature, the voltage should typically read 2.12 V at 760 RPM, and increase to 2.83 V at 3520 RPM. Changes are more important than the actual numbers." From http://www.scotsglen.com/saab/ecu/ [AMM input to ECU: 2.0V - Idling, 5.0V - Full Load] & Bentley wiring diagrams, for LH 2.2, AMM V output (same as input to ECU) should be measured at AMM pin/harness #5 It sounds like you've already swapped in another AMM, from a good-running car, and it fixed the problem car (which is what most pro shops do to AMM, afaik) In some locales 005s are moderately easy to find & fairly inexpensive - but perhaps not where you are located - but getting yet a 3rd used whole AMM would probably be the best course out hth Lance
