    I have a 89 8V 740 and I'm told I have a bad AMM. This is what
    happens, in the morning I go out side unplug the AMM the car cranks once
    approx. 10 sec. no start then starts immediately on the second crank (if
    I don't unplug the AMM it can take up to 5 minutes to start if it starts
    at all, the car will start then die , start die, start die, finally stay
    running after slightly revving the engine) My question is what is going
    on I know the AMM is reading the air density to proportion the amount of
    fuel based on the air temp / air density (gas law physics), but if the
    AMM is bad why does the car run fine after warming and I've replugged it
    in? What does unplugging the AMM do for starting the engine, does the
    engine receive more or less fuel, if left plugged in on the first start
    of the morning is it starving or flooding the engine? And is the AMM
    bad if it runs fine after warming?
