AIR! removal and fuse help please
AIR! removal and fuse help please The AIR! system has been removed from my car, but the fuses are still in place. I've had someone tell me that the fuses should be pulled when the system is removed, is this true? I see 2 fuses in the engine fuse box, should I yank em both out?

Thanks....where is the vacuum line at exactly?

I dont mean to hijack the thread but Im in the prosses of doing headers and before i do them i have to want to get the car inspected. I sent the computer to PCMforless yesturday to have the rear 02's and the AIR tuned out because my car is throwing a code for the rear 02 left bank. My question is do i have to unplug anything when i put the PCm back in to drive it to the inspection garage, or will i be alright leaving it alone and driving it? As soon as i get it home im getting to work on the headers. Thanks for the help.

I took my AIR pump out, taped up the connector on the harness, taped up the 2 rubber hoses.
With the AIR pump out, I found it does not throw DTC's as long as the fuse is still in (and I haven't yet deleted the AIR from my tune), and the Readiness tests come back good and ready.
