Air pump

[dr20t]

I get a CEL on the odd occasion (more common lately)

I am having thoughts that this may be related..

Only get the CEL (+ limp mode) when starting the car, and having driven for less than 10-15 seconds. Turn the car off and wait 1-2 mins and its gone..

Weird.....

Very big confusion zach

Indeed bloody weird. It's since gone away (well for the past few weeks) so who really knows. I was getting CEL + limp mode every 2nd day for a while there.

What's common mick what I told you ? How critical is the air pump ?

Zach what I'm getting at is unless you have done an engine swap, you don't have an air pump :/

Newbie - just remove it and blank out the cel for it

Part of your emissions system but meh

Oh.. Haha sorry mate was on a different page. Was just speaking from experience with the Foz guys, not uncommon to blank it off.

don't forget to retain the atmospheric sensor when you do a air pump delete or the car will pick up 1.50bar instead of 1bar and you will run into issues....

Eh??

I just removed the pump and black plastic pipe to the back of the motor and plugged up the hole and then got kido to turn the pump cel off. So where is the sensor???

yes you can do it that way as well, by just disabling the cels, u should be ok

Just bumping up this post with a question... I've noticed when the airpump is on, the ECUdataScan "Air fuel ratio" is showing really lean... about 20:1. I am guessing this is a false reading due to the fact the airpump is simply ramming air out the exhaust for "emissions"?

Kind of a stupid thing really... it's not pumping out any less pollution, it's just diluting it. Suppose it makes the fumes less concentrated if breathing it in in a garage or something...

Yeah its lean because its reducing emissions on startup.
Just use that time to warm up the car before proceeding
