K&N filters may have some benefit as far as airflow and thus performance but be very careful with cleanliness and re-oiling the filter. In the OG 9-3's there have been many reports of MAF/AMM problems and failures that I think are related to the the oil slick that can come off the filter versus the dry paper filter. I'd get the codes read (they should be stored) and I'd bet its a fuel/air mix code or a lean code. The MAF/AMM has small wires stretched horizontally across the housing, dirt,oil on those wires which feed the sensor could cause the ECM to compensate in a negative way. Others may disagree or have a better explanantion but thats my two cents.
