97 960 idling rough; stalling at low RPM speed?!?

    I took my 97' 960 to the Volvo dealer (first time since I've owned it;
    used), to have the timing belt replaced (@149kmls). They advised me
    before they were done with it that they had hooked it up to the OCB and
    found a code saying that the air mass meter sensor needed to be
    replaced; it was going to be an additional 300 something. We talked
    about what this meant to me (drive and safety) wise; I declinded with
    the reasoning that I could not afford this at this time.
    Got my car back... the rough idling (of course), continued. A few weeks
    later I bought a new (Volvo, $217+tx) air mass meter sensor and
    installed it myself.
    ABSOLUTELY DID NOT fix the problem!?!?
    Any thoughts/suggestions on how I should handle this?

    Air Mass meter is not as important at idle as the EGR valve, vacuum
    leaks, or MAP sensor (if equipped with one, not sure it is in your car)
