Default !air

Ok, if i remove the AIR system it will throw codes. now is this true or rumor that the car will run in "limp mode" if codes are thrown?

My car has had the air system and pump removed for a while and I never threw a code.

wont' go into limp mode... you just won't pass OBDII emissions unless you have the code turned off

I got an AIR code when I tried restrictor plates in
the AIR tubes, but it made no observable difference
in driving.

mine throws codes, but it does not affect preformance or driveability (no "limp" mode). the codes show up about once a month, but i just clear them with efilive
