Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2003 996 � and can�t seem to make these go away. See bullet point notes of what my Technician has done so far. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks - Found vacuum line for intake manifold flap actuator was broken, repaired line. Vacuum system now holds vacuum. - Teed a vacuum gauge in between the air injection valve and solenoid. Commanded the solenoid on with the scan tool, the injection valve is getting 15Hg of vacuum. - With a vacuum pump, applied vacuum to the air injection valve. The valve opens at 6Hg. - Removed both exhaust manifolds. Cleaned out all secondary air passages. With exhaust manifolds off, opened the air valve and turned on the air pump. A good amount of air can be felt coming out of both cylinder head passages. - Replaced vacuum reservoir. - Replaced mass air flow sensor. - Both front oxygen sensors respond quickly to rich/lean condition. - Checked exhaust back pressure on both banks, under 1PSI. - Compared air injection pump output to a known good one, air volume is the same. - Air injection pump is receiving 12V, ground had 0.06 ohm of resistance and a 200mV voltage drop when the pump is running. - Vehicle still sets P0491, P0492.

POST 2Original post

Search this forum for P0491 and P0492. This is a common problem with the SAI and vacuum hoses. It has been covered over and over.

POST 4Original post

The downstream O2 sensors would detect a problem.....I think. Maybe they are bad

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
