Derek,

I had the dread AFM hiccup in my 87 and the dealer cable fix made it go
away, but I believe there is a circuit in the archives that describes a
much cheaper fix (like $1.50 for a .02ufd capacitor).   You can also take
the cap off the AFM and clean the resistor track and then readjust the
wiper to take a slightly different path.   I did that on the 90.
