But appreciate the response and will looks more closely at the SAI system as a whole. Lots of good info on here to research.
I think with 175k miles on your car that the plastic hoses, connectors, one way valves and vacuum canister on the SAI system are in need of replacement.

I watched the video you posted the link to in your other post.
He shows the layout and parts involved pretty well.
The SAI system is fairly basic you would just be replacing a few parts.
I would think you could replace everything but the pump for around $200.00
$250.00 ??
I would think you could find vacuum hose and tee or y type connectors at an auto parts store or hardware store that would work.

If your not afraid to turn a wrench I thing you can fix the SAI issue with a little time and a bit of cash.

Let us know how you go.
I am always interested in out comes of those I try to help
