I shoved a tool in there, drove for about 30 or 40 miles, and NO codes are coming up.

Very confused.

Turns out it was where the tiny hose that connects to the SAI was supposed to plug in. Took care of all the codes at once.

Default Cigar test

Hi gents! I'm working on the same codes on my 2004 discovery... I tried to follow directions here (the pics were a big help!) but when I cover the intake with a glove I can't keep the truck running... It fires up and then dies immediately for some reason.
Any suggestions (knowing my luck it's either stupid user error or a MASSIVE problem that I just uncovered while trying to fix a smaller one$
Thanks in advance to all, and thanks for the great wrote up initially!
Regards,
Murph

if your truck died that quick you can most likely rule out a vacuum leak.
