Default Secondary Air Injection code???

OK.. I keep getting a CEL from a secondary air injection (i think thats it) code. My indy shop isn't too worried, but I never actually bothered to ask what it is.

I know its emissions related, but are there any common causes for that code?

Default mine was a result of two vacuum lines related to a combi valve (I believe)

I paid something like $60 at the dealership to have the vacuum lines replaced so probably $10 at an indy shop.

atleast that was what caused mine to throw the code

Default most likely source is the combi valve on the back of the head

can you hear the secondary air pump come on when you cold start the car? If so, then check the combi valve and the vac lines to it. If not, check the 40A fuse next to the ECU, not the regular fuses at the side of the dash. It's not uncommon for the combi valve to fail and no longer be able to shut.
