    SES light and P1415 code that comes back

    I have read through the threads by using the search here, but none really match what is happening on my car.

    It is a 96 Buick Roadmaster with the LS1 engine. Distributor in the front and all the goodies.

    I keep having a recurring P1415 code even after doing the following:

    1. Changed out the drivers side check valve. Light stayed off for about 100 miles then came back on with same trouble code.

    2. Changed out driverside catalytic converter. Drove the car about 100 miles and the ses light came back on with the same trouble code coming on.

    Using my scanner I can turn on the air pump and get good air flow. The tube behind the check valve is not clogged. The hoses from the air pump to the check valves appears in good condition. The front O2 sensors appear to work as they are supposed to, but the passenger side O2 sensor generally reads lower than the driver side after the car is fully warmed up.

    Could the check valve I installed be the wrong one for this car causing the code to come back?

    This car did have a miss in it that was finally cured by installing another distributor. Seems the water pump had been leaking. New plugs and wires, cap and rotor were installed also. Runs great. Just can't keep it from throwing a trouble code on this one side. All this was done prior to the cat.

    Thanks for any help.

    well your car has the LT1 motor, not the LS1 motor, unless you swapped the motor and put a front drive distributor ion it.

    DTC P1415 Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System Bank 1

    after replacing all of the parts associated with that side, might be a hole in the hose allowing air to come in.

    P1415 is usually a restriction in the bank 1 air system, could be the check valve, could be the pipe coming off the exhaust manifold. Don't think that Roadmaster has an LS1 in it.

    Thanks for the relies. I'll look at those. This engine does have the distributor mounted behind the water pump. Fun to do though not real hard. I was told this was a Corvette set up in this car from the factory. At any rate, I'll study more about this to se what can be done to correct this code. I'll double check the hose too.

    Thanks again.

    you mean the distributor is mounted behind the crank pulley and under the water pump? it is the LT1.

    See, I learned something new. So it's an LT1 instead of LS1. Maybe I'll get my consonants figured out one of these days. lol That is the engine that is in this car. Runs good, just can't get that code cleared for any lenght of time.

    I do appreciate the help and the correction on engine type. Will help me further down the road.

    I'll look closer at the things mentioned here and see if I can clear that code once and for all.
