I just finished doing the lower intake gasket, rocker cover gaskets, plugs and wires on my 2004 DII.
Before I did the job I thought I could hear the SAI scream the last few weeks. But once the work was done I don't anymore and I get the SAI code.
So I thought it could be leaking or I missed a cable but here is what it does.
Most times I guess the SAI does not come on when it's really cold. After clearing the code it took a few days before it returned. Last time I saw it come, just before it did, i saw the headlights dim a few times for half a second as if the relay tried to run the SAI pump but it was seized. If the bearings were seized one SAI pump, would it draw that much amperage that it would slightly dim the headlights?
