convert my AIR pump into a vaccuum pump? what do you guys think, having the AIR pump inlet plumbed into the pcv ports on the valve covers. then having the pump wired so it turns on when the engine is running or with a switch . this way you will have a little vaccuum, and the benifit of the pcv system but not the downfalls.
when does the air pump kick in??

Re: convert my AIR pump into a vaccuum pump? It has been done with other electic pumps. I was going to do this but then was told the problem is that out AIR pumps don't really move that much air. What you would be getting is alot of noise (motor whine) for very little vacume. I just put a breather on the end of the valve cover port and let it vent naturaly. Someone said they used a Ford pump and it worked really good.
