Thanks again

mrm143 said:Well it's already out LOL
I connected it direct to batt and all i got was a huge voltage drop from battery, and sparks, so I am assuming its fried LOL, didnt even try to move
On my way to parts store now....
I like to fix things asap LOL, its the wifes car and we know how that goes LOL
And I did pull the hose from check valve last night, and got the god awful noise out of the checkvalve nothing from the hose
SBUBandit said:Mine has been out for a few months. Its an emisions thing mandated by the EPA, but does not affect the way your truck runs at all. My check engine light is on, but other than that no difference. Now that it is spring, I'll order the part, wait 3 or 4 days for it to arrive, and save the extra money, no point getting robbed for a non-vital part
Mine is my wife's too, and if she'd like it fixed faster, she knows she is more than welcome to pay for the part and crawl under there herself.
HARDTRAILZ said:Interesting...Mine has thrown the 0411 code for over a year, randomly, and have seen no negatives other than the dash light.
mrm143 said:I am by mo means a mechanic, but I was getting the huge voltage dip on startup which was the computer trying to turn on the fan, so that was making the lights flicker and bothered the wifey, so I changed it out
I was also getting the rotten egg smell from the cat, so called mechanic, and he said that the SAIS could effect the cat, and a few other things, but figured I would fix it to stop the lights from flickering, and not have to worry about it later....
HARDTRAILZ said:My pump still runs, just something wrong in the rest of the system. Makes sense that it voltage would dip if the pump was locked up or something.
I don't see a huge risk. Much more chance of damage for a deferred P0128 thermostat repair (that gives you days, weeks, or months of excessive richness) than the 30 second start-up richness of a dead SAIS. Put that mechanic on probation for a while, and check with us when he recommends stuff.mrm143 said:Premature Cat failure is what he said....
