You are lucky that you got the drive cycles to reset in 150 miles and it cleared the SAI CEL.

BTW, clean exhaust gasses and clogged SAI ports are very possible - that's the key issue about why no one wants to pay $10K for a top end rebuld just because of an CEL SAI.

But disconnecting the battery does reset the SAI until it shows up again - which I typically though was within 100 miles. This is an interesting data point. If your CEL comes on again, I'd like you to read the codes - if you are in NorCal we can use my reader, or go to an Autozone store and borrow theirs.

Congrats!

Don
