Fix or delete secondary air injection

I've smoke tested and fixed a couple of vacuum leaks (one large) but the codes keep returning. Rather than pull things apart again to look for leaks and potentially replace parts I was considering doing a mail-in ROW tune and then just deleting the SAI system. Then I'd bypass the SAI and ensure the new, simpler vacuum circuit is leak free.

Any reason not to do this besides emissions testing? I'm close to being able to register the car as an antique and then I'll be exempt from inspections and emissions testing.

Hey, let me level with you man.

i haven't finished it yet, but if you want, you can try what im doing. almost the exact same issue. 986 2000 boxter S, arctic silver.

p04110 and p1411, vacuum leak repair got rid of p1411. now, im sautering a resistor in place of the injection output sensor, to make the ecm (hopefully) not give the code.

as far as im aware, the intended voltage is 1.5V.

the good delete kit, (that wont give a code) is a lot more expensive than a resistor and a suatering iron.

This will end badly.


It's spelled "soldering", by the way. I don't think you should be doing it.

Man, I hope you're right.
