David:
Everything except the 411 code is related to what you did or did not do
during the test. The 411 is interesting. Never had anybody ask about this
one!
411 is saying the IAB can not control the idle but you said you already
replaced it. Did you clear the codes and let the engine relearn it's idle
after that?
Has the car had the 100K service? I think you might have oil in the plug
wells and/or old wires/plugs causing some misfires. Have you drove another
SHO to see how the power compares with yours?
