Air Pump Problem

My car cuts off at 4000 rpm under hard acceleration and smokes black at tips and has a rough idle. It blows out fuses to the air pump. When I put a new fuse on and run it for a little bit, it seems to run fine til after a while it starts sputtering. When I park it blows the fuse out. WHat could cause this?

The AIR pump only runs for a few minutes on a cold engine, then shuts off. Not sure why/how it would be affecting your drivability problems.
