The ROW flash is looking like a much better option. Cheaper, simpler, and adds lightness.

There is a far more compelling case than that for some of us. We can not fix the SAI system. Some very competent Forum members have performed every imaginable test yet fail to find a fault. If you can't find the fault, you can't eliminate the SAI fault codes .If the SAI fault code is present, you can't pass the Smog test so you can't get a registration sticker. If you run out of time on your old sticker you are in real trouble.
Ultimately there is no alternative to the ROW flash until someone figures out a reliable way to fix the SAI system.
Sometimes it is easy to fix the SAI but not always !

If the problem comes up again after replacing the check valve, I'm just going to remove the whole system.

I've just built a circuit that fools the DME during cold starts, so no ROW flash needed. The circuit is triggered by the air pump relay and just feeds a signal to the DME indicating that the required emission conditions have been met.
That will be the end of it and no pricey flash.

My 99 had the same problem. My indie determined it was the valve. I remember getting a deal on one online. I also remember it was a SOB to get at.Every so often it will throw those two codes. I clear them and gone.

Mr. Particleweave,
I agree about the ROW reflash cost for an SAI solution. The ROW reflash includes several other features(see ECU Doctors for details) but they are not useful to me. I just want to pass Smog so I can be 'legal' and get a sticker.
Your brilliant wiring modification seems excellent .One advantage is that since it is triggered by an existing relay ,it is easily reversible if some new Smog Law detects the hack.
If you would like a guinea pig to volunteer to use your modification and report back - please PM me .
