    I had code 1-2-1, Air Mass Meter, as well as code 1-2-3, coolant temp
    sensor.

    The sensor was changed and the air mass meter was changed. That was 4
    months ago.

    Last month, the code 1-2-1 came back and soon after the Check Engine
    light came on, the car almost died on a few occasions. I unplugged
    the battery to reset the code and everything was fine for two weeks.
    Then I got the code 1-2-3 again. I unplugged the battery to reset
    code and eveything was fine for 3 weeks. This morning I got code
    1-2-1 again and the car almost died on 2-3 occasions.

    My garage tells me it could be the computer.

    Anyone can help?

    Thanks, Sam.

    Hello, I have had something similar... Check the pins on the computer plug.
    I had a couple of them bended and these caused a lot of similar problems to
    my car. You never know...

    It could be the computer. Or perhaps it's the airbox thermostat stuck
    in the full heat mode. This would direct rather hot air over the air
    mass meter constantly. This is indeed enough to fry an AMM in short
    order.
