What is code 4 and how do I diagnose this problem. I have the home built code reader too so probing pins would be no problem.
Thank you.
Make sure that "#4" is the only code in the DM.

As deanyel says is the AIR system; check that the vacuum line hasn't cracked or slipped off the main pump or the switchover valves . . it's a common occurance.
