How do I take it all off with out throwing any codes. I want to clean up the engine bay. Thanks for your help.

 

Is there any web pages that show the removel step by step?? I'd like to do this as well, I KEEP THROWING THE DAMN FUSES.........

 

It is really not that hard if you know what you are looking at. The hard part is getting the damn tubing out of the car whole. I ended up using a small tubing cutter & cut the tubing into 3 peices to get it out. There was a small bracket that held the tubing on under/behind the power steering pump that I could not get off. Then you just have to find something to plug the bungs on the intake manifolds.

Like this... Plugged Exhaust Manifold A.I.R. Bung

Then remove the pump itself & bracket isn't needed either. Then plug the bung on the CAI that the rubber tube is connected to with something. I believe some people have said if they pull the fuse for the A.I.R. pump that they don't get a code. I had mind deleted in programming. It really does clean things up in there.

Good Luck.

 

What did you use to PLUG the AIR bungs? I cant pull the fuse on my 97 cuz I believe it shares controls with the fans... I can live with the ses light for a while, is there any way to jump it so the pc reads it as still on, I'm gonna do a pcm for less program, but that wont be til I get the headers in and the egr removed as well......

 

There is no way to get around the ses light without reprograming the pcm. i jus thad to get mine done so i could pass inspection. obd2 sucks!!!

 

The 97 Air-Bung threads are 3/4-16 thread plug. You will need to program out the Air system out though, either with LT1 Edit, or an aftermarket mail-order tune.

 

I used some 3/4 - 16" treaded rod & welded a nut on the ends of the rods then I put it on the lathe at work to make them look nice & Machined... If you want some I can make some up for you at work...

 

i herd an m22 drain plug ??

 

You have stock manifolds? If so I think you might be right?

 

stock or headers wouldnt they be the same? figuring the stock air tubes connect to headers???

 

These big set screws fit, and they look nice too.

Go to the Mcmaster.com to order them.

 

Excellent!!! Ordered a pack! Thanks!!!

 

Mikey what the hell do those screws fit on? i tried them on my headers and they are to small? do they fit on stock manafolds? i would figure that stock manafolds and headers are the same ?? either way can someone go to http://www.mcmaster.com and help me find the plugs that will fit my dynomax shorties so i can delete the AIR system? thanks.... im HOT about the ones i just bought not fitting...

 

95 and 97 style air fitting different???/ anyone????????

 

Yes, the older ones were different. A 95 prolly uses a M22 metric plug. It's a little bigger than the 3/4" plug. I'm not sure what year they changed. 1996?
