Double check the MAF


Adding Secondary MAF (including Pump and EGR) as a possible culprit

Tech excerpt:
The Secondary Air Injection System is monitored via the use of the pre-catalyst oxygen sensor( s). Once the air pump is active and is air injected into the system the signal at the oxygen sensor will reflect a lean condition. If the oxygen sensor signal does not change within a predefined time a fault will be set and identify the faulty bank(s). If after completing the next cold start and a fault is again present the "Service Engine Soon" light will be illuminated.

Example: Secondary Air Injection Monitoring (M54-Siemens System)
During a cold start condition air is immediately injected into the exhaust manifold and since the oxygen sensors are in open loop at this time the voltage at the pre catalyst sensor will reflect a lean condition) and will remain at this level while the air pump is in operation. Once the pump is deactivated the voltage will change to a rich condition until the system goes into closed loop operation.
