The check valves may need to be replaced. The restrictors may have only slowed down the damage to the check valves. That is one of the reasons I am getting LS1 Edit and blocking them off.

Can you actually buy "LS1 Edit"? or does it involve sending your computer out?

What actual codes are you getting? As mentioned above, you probably have a failed check valve. P1416 is passenger, P1415 is drivers. They're about $12 or so last time I bought one.

Thanks for the help! I don't have Autotap, so I don't know the codes. I'll try changing them out and any other ideas would be welcome.

I think we were assuming that you've already ataped it. I would do that before anything and make sure the SES is AIR related for a fact. Your rough idle has me wondering...

Default AIR Check Valve SES Light

Well, I'm outta ideas. I've had my MACs on for months now and all of a sudden SES light and no power with a rough idle and check valves going nuts. I've done the restrictor plate mod and don't have any leaks. Any ideas?

I don't suppose anybody around Jacksonville FL would be interested in running an Autotap for me. Maybe a little $$?

I read about F-body gatherings in Jax occasionally, seems you could bump into someone that could help you out. If you don't get any bites here you might try the "other" LS1 board. One of the moderators lives in Jax and I believe he would help you. I'm way over here West of Live Oak and would be glad to help if you find yourself cruising down I-10 this way.

I replaced mine after my car felt slow for a month, and the ses light finally came on.
