Why does my AIR pump whine like crazy
My AIR pump is so loud. Its been like that since I bought the car.
You can hear it over everything. A lot of people say its supercharged. LOL
But it's still annoying.
Any Ideas?

Yes you can unplug it, depending on the year of your car it may set a code, and no it has no effect on performance.
EDIT: 96 - It will set a code, but the pump is only there to improve cold start emissions. You won't notice a thing with it not functioning. And if you have to pass smog later on, you can just hook it back up.

When exhaust gas leaks back through the check valves, the water in it condenses in the pump and the pump rusts up, causing the squeal. Eventually it will draw enough current to blow the AIR pump fuse.
