Default Help me... Leaky valve? Check Engine Light related

I hope someone here can help me determine my problem. Ok, had TSB54 done for buzzing clutch. Got it back and heard a strange noise. Check engine came on a few days later. Did ECU reset. Check engine light would come back on after a few hours. Found out that the code is 'secondary air source invalid' or something similar. Under the hood, this valve (see picture. arrow is pointing to valve.) is leaking air. Is this thing a bypass valve or could it be broken. Anyways, I think all my hoses are on ok. Maybe the dealer put a hose back wrong? Not sure any of these hoses would need to be removed for a clutch replacement.



A close up view


Thanks much.

Check out the post Titled (Help identifying part in my Vortech supercharged engine bay) Originally posted by Jenner. It should explain what to do next. Sorry I'm not computer literate enough to post a link.The Airbox/valve does have to come out to install the clutch. You will need the specific code to do any troubleshooting.

They may have just plugged the hoses in the wrong way.
Here's the Jenner thread:

But take a look at this thread and trace your vacuum lines to make sure they are correct. My post later in that thread describes the routing.

Slows2K and xviper,
Thanks so much for your replies. They had the vacuum hoses switch. Now all is well with my S2K. If you are ever in the neighborhood (Bay Area), a beer is on me.

Thanks,
Conway

PS. Never will I trust the dealer again when I have S2Ki.com.

It's an easy mistake to make, And I would prefer a Labatt Blue. Good thing It's fixed.
