Dave. I agree that apc works great.. repair procedure.. apc has several sensors of which makes it work correctly. knock sensors, pressure transducers, apc computer., the expensive coax from the apc ecu to the knock sensor which is a common fault, apc solenoid. etc etc. there could be thousands spent to rectify the apc, then u find out that your 250 000 km engine has a slight bottom end rattle which causes the apc to run basic boost. on the other hand it could be as simple as a brake pedal switch. this is why i would go with a/market. much more simple. on that age of car anyway.
