It seems to be okay now but I'll have to wait and see if the light comes back on.

My suggestion to anyone reading this is to check your vacuum hoses. Especially the ones right by the blower in the front of the engine and the ones on the back side by the transmission dip stick hole (auto transmission). If they are dry rotted/mushy, replace them. For the 8 dollars it costs for the hose and 15 minutes in time, It may save you some headaches in the future.
The Fuel Line on my SRT6 looks like that. I am actively trying to find a replacement. Didn't see any on eBay or otherwise. I really need to run up to the ole Mercedes Dealership to have them order me one. Too many SRT6 owners insist on parting the entire engine as a whole. Didn't have the same Part # as the NA.
