I was wondering what the computer checks to throw the code when you dissconnect the AIR pump? Is it just checking to see if the pump comes on and if there is a load, or do the O2 sensors play a part in the code being throw? If the computer just checks to see if the pump is working, I'm guessing you could make some kind of simulator like we have for our rear O2 sensors. The reason I ask this is because I would like to delete my AIR and EGR without having to get my ECU reprogramed and I don't have access to LS1Edit. Has anyone tried this?

I dunno... Get a multimeter, and see what the resistance of the connector is on the pump, with the car running, and when off. Purchase a resistor from Radio Shack (1/2 or 1/4 Watt) and see if it works. kinda like the same thing you would do if you were doing the free CAGS elimination mod. I'm curious to see if it'll work too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Ok, I found out that the O2 sensors do not contribute to the code being thrown. That means you should be able to use a resistor or something to make the computer think the pump is still there and working?

Since I posted in 2 places instead of asking to get the thread moved, I'll just combine the last thread,
https://ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...;f=23;t=003841
with this one.
I'm going to check the Helms manual this weekend and maybe put the multimeter on there to see what all the wires are for. I hope it's as simple as putting some resisitors inplace of the pump.

Keep us posted on this.I have been wondering why someone hasn`t figured out what resistor would work,like it does on the cags. Thanks
