crunchie12268 said:well, I don't have the time or money right now to go and get a shorter belt... I was just wondering if I could run the pump with nothing hooked up until I get some money to bypass it.
Mavrick said:It won't hurt anything.. think about it, all it does is pump a little air.. hence the name, air pump. Don't worry about it, leave it unhooked as you wish, you won't hut a thing.

When the hose that connects the smog pipe to the h-pipe came loose and was hanging on my car you could hear the air. It made a whirling noise when the car revved.
_JB_ said:Yep, the guy before me made it that I couldn't hook up the smog pump to the exhaust. So it made a "brrr" sound from under the car...annoying as hell. This was just a idle also.
5.0 Nostalgia said:What did he do? Pinch the connection on one of the sides of the pipe?
_JB_ said:He made his own exhaust from the headers back. I don't have a H/X pipe on my car just two mufflers. I had a metal tube coming from the smog pump that was supposed to plug into where an X/H pipe would be, and when the car would run this is where the noise would come from. It was closed a little bit, but that could have also been from a wrench or something.
Oh another thing the guy messed up on was he only hooked up one o2 sensor.
