this instruction page says that removing the AIR provisions "Removing this system should NOT throw any codes". ok well that is all fine and good...but i don't like the should part.

who has done this and DOES it thow codes? i'm starting to hear a very noticable whine from my air pump that has started recently, and i've also had some idle issues (not sure if that has anything to do with it or not).

would rather just pull the whole system than spend the money on a new pump.

 

Yes, it will throw a code, but after removing it, and using block off plates to cover up the holes, it can easily be edited out.

 

damn

yeah edited out with $250 tune or a $300+ edit program

hm....


should it affect anything other than the SES light? or will the computer start pulling performance?

 

I was thinking about doing this the other day. Went out to the car and pulled the pump fuse and threw a code. Try pulling yours and see what happens. The pump shuts off after the car is warm anyway.

 

It won't affect performance in any way, but you will have the annoying SES light. The only real benefit to removing the AIR and EGR system is for weight savings and it cleans up the engie bay.

 

that and the pump is goin i think so it sounds like crap everytime i start the car...

 

I pulled the pump, hoses and tubes. Just left the solenoid for the vac line, blocked it and would only throw a code every couple months.

 

omg omg omg! mayb thats the gawd awful noises im getting in the morning when i start my car. just got my new LT headers and every now and then when i start her up it dont sound to hot AIR is coming out!

o and hey teke i think you can just run down to autozone and they will edit it out for like $50.00
