Can ANYONE tell me if I take out the PCM fuse for a few minutes and then do an OBD2 emissions test it will nt notice the A.I.R. system running incorrectly?? I have to get the car inspected but I've lost my vacuum solenoid and bleed vlve and the ca is still throwing an SES. I thought that just plugging the air pump in would solve it but then I cant find these parts anywhere...so now I'm tring to figure out quick way around this problem. Thank you for ALL the help!!

 

Unplug the electrical connector on the back of the air pump. Make sure the fuse for the pump is still good.

 

I'll check out the fuse asap when i get home. Thanks for the suggestion! Let me go try it!!

 

Unplugging only makes the air pump not turn on and throw a code. Fuses are good. Anyone have any other suggestions?

 

you need to fix it so it works or have the AIR code/test programmed out


oh, you need to drive the car for a while after clearing codes(needs to run all the tests), or you will stll fail the test

 

i guess so. called up the dealership and they have no idea what a bleed valve...guess i need to show them how the 96s and 97s air injetion system works.
