I have changed all spark plugs very carefully at 105000 miles, On my way to work s.e.s light came on and stay on, took it in to the dealer and diagnostic code reads P1130 swirl valve solenoid is inoperatable" estimated cost to replace is three hundred+tax. I unplug the two fine black hose that one connect to the air filter canister and the other to the little round black thing, but I guess I should not have unplug the fine hose, cause those two hoses leads to the swirl valve solenoid switch. Don't know by unpluged the hoes if regular air from in my garage can cause the swirl control valve to go inoperatble.????

Check the electrical connections on the swirl control valve control solenoid.

And check that you didn't hook the hoses up backwards.

Ensure the hoses are not clogged as well.

Thanks, I did check if the hoses were hooked up vice a versa and recheck if it is cloged, looks clean and the correct way connected, I guess it's just a co-incident but I did order a swirl control valve through the dealer (dealer item only) and have them install and clear ses light. Thanks everyone the problem is resolve.

My exhaust pipes, mufflers, cat-converter is NOT broke, but the straps that holds up the heat shield is loose therefore making it easy to rattle. Question is, wondering if to cut all the straps off and do with out heat shield ? The straps and screws are almost rotten, Need some advice ! Thanks

Do you mean exhaust hangars? Not sure what "straps" you're speaking of. You can remove as many heat shields as you want without ill effects, though.

No, not the rubber exhaust hangers but the metal straps with two small bolt and nut.
