Deleting AIR, revisited.... (Also posted in External Engine)
Installing headers soon, will have AIR provisions, but I'm thinking,
(A)
can't I just eliminate all the lines,block off the inlet into the headers,yet keep the pump functional, and not pull any codes?
(B)
I assume the AIR solenoid connections need to be maintained?
Do not have ready access to tuning but really want to get rid of the AIR junk (will have no cats anyway).
Thanks,
Gerald

(A) no because the computer does not just look for the pump to turn on but also looks for a massive change (switch to lean condition) of the O2s.......
(B) yes you would need ALL solenoids connected (or they would also throw codes) but all solenoids connected will not make up for (A)
now sometimes you can remove your entire AIR system and not throw a code.....my computer for instance was stupid......it threw and "AIR system not working" code when the system was connected but once the system was removed, it stopped throwing the code....go figure......
