P1416 AIR Passenger valve Got the code today and thankfully this site steered me in the right direction. Now I tried to remove the valve from the tube running to the manifold and I think King Kong put that thing on there. I went another direction though..... Sprayed some MAF cleaner in the valve on the pump side (hose easily comes off) and cranked the car. I let it idle for a good while and reset the light.
Only question I have is this... How in the HE## do you remove that valve???
Would like to clean it from the other direction......
I am thinking about deleting the AIR and getting it tuned for this in the near future. Really do not want to do this yet, but if the light comes back I am going to say C-Ya
Thanks

I just did this over the weekend. I sprayed the threads with some WD-40 and let it sit for maybe 20 minutes. I still had to really put some effort into it, but it finally came off. I put some anti-sieze on the threads when I put the new one on. I plan on keeping AIR for the time being, otherwise I would have just yanked all the junk out. Light is out so far, but I haven't had the chance to put many miles on the car since it's still winter.
