I ran the car on EFI LiveV5, and this was the code--> P1416: Engine Controller--Air System Bank 2
I have to take it to the dealers on tuesday anyways for a window motor fix, but was just wondering if anyone knew what the air system bank reffers to. I barely use my A/C in the summer, and my car is all stock except for a K&N filter, SLP Loud Mouth exhaust, and a hurst billet shifter(dont think the shifter would apply to this tho). Thanks!

That code has nothing to do with running the aircondition. It sounds like a air pump code.

Don't remember the code #,but I had the Air system bank 2 on my 98. It was a check valve plugged or malfunctioning if I remember correctly.Had to replace the whole tube.

I get that one every few months or so. I've had the car in several times, and they never have figured out what was wrong, so I just reset the PCM and keep going now when the SES comes on (not often at all any more). Now that you've brought it up, I did another search and found this:

Seems like resetting the PCM will still work for me in the future if I get that code again, and I can stop worrying about it!

There are two black valves that are on the air tubes. One side is rubber and the other screws in to the metal air tube. I believe the part # is 12565503 and is 29.02 at the dealer. The code you are getting is for the right side. The valve gets carboned up and sticks = SES light. It has happened to Carrie's 2000 Z28 a couple of times. Easy enuff to change or you can take it off and brake clean it out as a temp fix. Hope it helps.....
