haven't posted in forever - there's truth in that a lot of people only post when things aren't perfect, and I haven't done anything but put gas in my car in ages.
got a CEL today and the OBDII scan reported a P0491 - AIR system blocked, bank 1. So it looks like a hose is kinked in the air injection system.
Which bank is bank 1 - driver's side?
Tracking this issue down shouldn't be too hard. But my question is more about *removing* the AIR system; is this possible without upsetting the ECU? Pulling the AIR system is something I've always done to previous cars and bikes (along with the cats), but I don't have plans to do my downpipes anytime soon (due to the labor involved).
