Default Questions for some known problems

Was curious if there are any known problems with:

(1). SAI (Secondary Air injection) ports? They are an issue on the 993s as the injection ports would get pluged up and cause a check engine light to come on. The check engine light came on in my 996 recently and it was caused by SAI. Was wondering if anyone else had this issue.

(2). Vapor lock issue - I noticed that whenever if I drove the car hard on a hot day, after couple of hours it would take double amount of time to crank the engine in order to start. I am guess it is related to vapor lock, anyone else have the same experiences?

TIA
