Jeff,

I checked my Haynes and it says that code 44 means Secondary Air inoperative:

Perform Air pump, valve, valve vacuum and soleniod checks.

I hope that helps.

good job Joe!

Also

DTC 44 (KOER) - Right Thermactor Inoperative - The thermactor system injects air into the exhaust ports in the heads downstream from the valves. Air is supplied from the smog pump through tubing and the TAD/TAB valves to a copper pipe between the heads on the firewall side of the engine, and ultimately to the exhaust passages. If your smog pump is disabled, or your disconnected the tubing (most likely rusted out; get new tubeing from NAPA, etc or PCI) or blocked the thermactor holes in the back of the heads, or if the TAD/TAB valves are bad, you will get these codes
