I got the block off plates for my air injection and I was wondering where does that tube run to on the drivers side? Can I just cut it or do I have to find where it goes and then get rid of it? What did you guys do?
Thanks

you have to have the pump deleted from the comptuer and take it all out, pump and all if you wanna do it right. and you need that for emission testing

can i just remove the tubes and the hoses so i can it easier for the plugs replacements... i dont care too much to remove the whole pump and everything... just the two metal tubes and the hoses they go into... is that ok

thanks

No real issues.
You will have to get block off plates for the exhaust manifolds / headers. Also you may hear a whistling noise coming from behind the driver side headlight because of the pump.

I just put block-off plates at the headers, pulled the pipes and tubes, and pulled the fuse for the air pump. When its smog time, 10 minutes puts it all back in.

how come everything throws a code unless you block it?? and, does it cause the car to run any different when you do it??

and what does the air injection do? I heard it was just to warm up the cats when the car is cold. that true???

(yes I am new to this lol)

yeah thats pretty much it... plus it cleans up the engine bay more room to change plugs if you do it as often as some do

air injection pumps a lot of air in the exhasut when the rear o2s are reading high, like on start up when the cats are cold. all it is is there to make emission readings go down by mixing fresh air in with the exhaust, i do believe
