Right on! Always good to save money!!

If you cold start the car twice and the light stays off then you should be good. As far as I am tracking, that is what it takes to register the error after clearing the code. But if after 2xcold starts the CEL doesn't come back, then you should be golden. The error hasn't returned on mine.

Now...if the light does come back after 2xcold starts, then you could be looking at a bad air pump. If that is the case...there goes all your monies...LOL. Hey at that point, just buy a tune and eliminate the cold start.
