    I've done it. It sucks. The intake plenum needs to come out. If you're mechanically inclined, should take close to a hour to get to the check valve. Then after remove/replace, take another hour to get it all back together. When I removed my check valve, the insides were rusted and corroded. Air blew both ways, so no longer a "check valve." Pain in the butt, but after replacement, and blowing out the lines, never had 0446 come back again.

    Awesome! Glad to hear it all worked out. Great pic... ;)

    Did the dealer do the TSB? How has the car been since?
  4. bar10dah
    Haha! Yep. Thanks for all the help you've given me through the past couple years. I've definitely appreciated your experience and willingness to give advice.

    When I had the 1124/1126 codes, I replaced the upstream O2 sensors, the valve by the throttle body, the valve on the EVAP canister, the two valves on the SAI system, the AOS tubes (even the AOS), all the 4mm vacuum lines, the vacuum canister (I broke it), IACV (and associated gasket), the oil filler tubes, gas cap w/ o-ring, oil cap w/ o-ring, dipstick o-ring, and tightened/retightened all the connections on the intake system. Might have been more, but can't remember right now. I didn't mind throwing parts at the problem because it was a 13 year old car and probably needed those new parts anyways. But none of it fixed my codes from reappearing. I eventually sold my car due to leaving the country for a while (don't worry, I'm not on the run...). I definitely disclosed the problem to the new owner, who was happy with my honesty, and bought my car and associated problem. I threw in an Actron code reader so he could verify those were the only two codes in the system and could reset the CEL whenever they reappeared. I still don't know what caused those codes. But it didn't affect power and it didn't affect mileage. And the codes would only appear after idling for five minutes (one of the emissions checks, but can't remember which one). Seriously, I did a 700 mile drive one day and the codes never reappeared. But as soon as I got off the interstate and had gone through a couple traffic lights, the codes came back.

    Thanks so much, Loren! Appreciate the link.

    Is the 2006 order guide available online? Link, please? :)
  8. bar10dah
    Ah, JFP beat me to it. Doesn't matter, he responded in the attached link as well. ;)

    this is your "Best Answer." All these codes indicate an interruption of the signal from the DME to the injector coils. OEM manual procedure is to check the individual injector wire harness from the injector to the DME using the infamous 9616 pin out box, looking are resistance and voltage. While this could be a wiring issue (like rodent damage), because all the injectors are out, it may also be a DME issue.

    No worries! Sometimes we get so frustrated with our machines, we forget not to be too harsh with our loved ones who don't know anything about the mechanics of how machines work and unintentionally just drive them into the ground. How's Casa Grande? I did a quick landing at the airport there sometime around 2007, but didn't stay long. That place just exploded over the last several years! I remember seeing a huge shopping area had sprouted up right next to the 10. Phoenix slowly expanded out that far yet?

    And, don't be too hard on your wife. She didn't want to be stranded away from her destination any more than you wanted her to not drive it the rest of the way. ;) Hope you get it figured out and it's not as bad as it seems.

    If one end of that line is connected to the resonance flap valve, then the other end connects to green in both pics. I PM'd you. I'll try to help more tomorrow.
  14. bar10dah
    Okay, these are my guesses. Someone that actually has a 4-way splitter system can give you better advice. I can't tell in the pic if it's connected, but that black/white valve needs to connect to the throttle body sleeve. More specifically, the black side of that valve connects to the sleeve and the white side to the 4-way splitter. The blue circle in the second pic should connect to the pink in the second pic. In the first pic, it's the blue to purple. Green in both pics should go to the switch that controls the resonance flap. I really can't tell what the red is in the second pic. Is that the same as the yellow in the first pic?
  15. bar10dah
    Oh wow, yeah. Much different than my setup. Let me look at the pic for a bit and I'll respond back.
