Here we go, P0418 code. Hey guys so I was teaching my fiancé to drive stick this weekend (which actually went better than I expected) and long story short I got a SES light with a P0418 code, Secondary Air Injector system fault. The autozone probable cause says:
1. Circuit relay defective or fuse open.
2. check connector and wiring
3. Air Pump defective or hoses blocked
So basically what is my course of action? Replace the relay? Then work my way up? And since I've never really worked on the AIR pump system where is it located and what does it look like, aside from replacing the relay (which I can figure out) how do I perform the last 2 actions.
Also I planned on driving my car up to Cleveland this weekend (I live in Dayton) to have my rear end worked on, will this cause a problem with the trip? Will it force my car into a limp home mode? Or will I be ok? Any information or input will be helpful.
Thanks

I just got through removing the AIR pump on my car. Basically, its behind the headlight, there is a sticky for removing it in the external engine section which would help you figure out where it is.
