So all the readiness flags are set, right?
Yes

Default SAI bypass circuit kit needed

I always hoped the SAI problem could be avoided by frequent DE participation. Well it does not, after 73k the CEL came on. So has anybody a spare kit for me to purchase?
I appreciate your help, thanks.

"The bypass worked for me, I have to replace an O2 sensor then it should be CEL free."

So the SAI always failed until the circuit was added, right?

And it's still unknown whether the circuit works on the '97/'98s.

is there a plan for another production run? If so, how do I get on the list? Thanks for all of the hard work on this issue! Phil

I have a question but first i need to thank TxnBluDvl for selling me one of his units. Props to Conway! So anyway, I am geting ready to put the uint in my 96 and was wondering if there is a place t tap into the far side O2 sensor wiring near the fuse/relay box or do I run a line across the rear to them. Thanks!
Hopefully this will cure my readiness fla issue. I do not have a CEL light but Durametric comes up Pear Blower 1st Stage Siezed and Both banks O2 sensor low voltage. I do plan on replacing these along with the blower and resistor (in hand) but need to pass inspection so I can at least drive the thing.

Does anyone else have a unit they don't plan on using and selling?

Same here. Does anyone have another unit for sale?

I'd like to buy someone's unit as well so as to have at least a temporary fix. Lewis- please continue to keep me on the wait list for the second batch if it materializes.

I have the cel on my 97 c4 and using code reader confirmed its the sai issue. I'm wondering with all the units shipped why there is such little feedback. If I could be put on the list for the second production of an enclosed unit or if someone has an extra I could put it in and at least provide some results.

Yes, it's a re-occurring question.

One reason, which is my reason, is that I purchased solely for insurance. I've not yet had the dreaded SAI CEL, but when I do I'll install the unit.

I'm hoping by then there will be more definitive knowledge between the production years. Luckily, I have a '96, of which there are a few responses indicating that it works for that year.

As I am getting ready to hook this up - I noticed on the diagram that the gray wire is going to a gray line on an O2 connector and in one of the pictures posted it shows the gray line going to a 30 amp fuse. I know the blue line goes to pin 87 of the SAI Pump relay, but I am confused as someone posted grounding the other line to the chasis. So I really don't want to fry this thing first time out - I'd like to get my readiness flag reset and pass emissions before blowing it up. I can not see running power using both the blue and the gray. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

If the picture you are referring to is the ones I posted, those pictures are from my home made unit so the wiring is unique to mine. If you post a picture of your unit I can point out which connection goes where.
