The dealer in Rochester NY is outstanding. I was getting error code SAI. Two indies quoted me a ton of money to fix. Went to the dealer and he told me that SAI rarely ever go bad. He told me to go home and check my vacuum lines. Sure enough it was fixed.
YUP.....I have become a vacuum line expert. Had a bad vacuum canister and a main fitting that fell out of the manifold and a few rotted pieces of rubber. High temp silicon lines and brass barbed fittings cured my problems.
