$200 from where? people have been saying $400+

My99/00 AFMs are cheaper than other models. Last time I checked anyway. Call Regents in Osbourne Park.

Try and master up a plan which involves him going out whilst leaving his car at home!

Done.

+1 AFM, that recently happened to mine, and sounds exactly the same symptoms. Too much oil on the air filter can do it apparently (although I have a panel k&n filter, not a pod). When I got the car back, I got the spare AFM and it was gunked up, not sure if even cleaning it will help?
