when you first start your car all the warning lights should come on for like 3 seconds. You should look for the orange CEL during those 3 seconds and make sure someone didn't just kill the bulb to make it go away.

Or just rip the SAI system out of the car LOL.
I did... to me that system is worthless. It has a bunch of parts that may break over time (like this one), it's a pain to service, it can get in the way when servicing other things, it adds weight and complexity to the car, and my favorite part: it only runs for something like 30 seconds on COLD starts! Definitely not worth it to me.
But, you'll get a CEL removing it unless you have the ECU programmed accordingly.

I currently have CEL P1423, I've had it since I've had the car. I have replaced practically everything in the entire SAI system.
I am convinced my passenger side head EGR port is clogged.
If coding it out wasn't that expensive, I would go ahead and do the SAI delete.
I was wondering though, if the SAI system is deleted, will the Diverter Valve be necessary or can that be bypassed too?

You mean to say I could actually get it coded out?
