Please can anyone help me! I have a 2005 Chrysler Sebring I recently
purchased. A few days after driving it off the lot the check engine
light came on. It gave a code of p0491 which reads as a Secondary Air
Intake System Bank 1. The Chrysler dealer I have been going to doesn't
know how to solve the problem either. Please help me. I have already
spent hundreds trying to figure out this problem. I have been to
chrysler numerous time since 2/17/2010 and they have not been able to
figure out the problem. I have replaced a pcv valve, map sensor, cam
sensor, and now a pcm. All of which has not lead to an answer as to
why the check engine light will not go off and why it is giving this
code. Please help I am going broke over here!

Check the wiring to the associated sensors for breaks/shorts.

It sounds like it had a problem before you drove it off of the lot if
the engine light lit up just a couple of days after you purchased it.

but to me that code sounds like an O/2 sensor issue, but it could be
anything from a vacuum leak to whatever.

I just dropped it off at Chrysler today and they stated that they
needed to keep it for a couple of days and it would be anywhere from
$200-300 just to look it over again and check all the wiring. Ugh so
frustrated.
