its a air pump simulator which tricks the ecu that there is a air pump but there really isnt.

what more needs explaining??

I understand how to construct the thing but I'd like to see where and how the wires connect. I'd like to see in detail, where they connect to exactly.

sorry to sound thick a this may just be a USDM thing...but what benefit is there of getting rid of the air pump?

MP2k

No benefit per say but a lot of folks choose not to replace it when goes out. It's an expensive part thats only there for emissions. I don't think boosted cars can run with one either, but I'm not positive on that.

i am having this issue right now. my shop estimated 687.00 for the replacement just to so i can pass emissions. luckly i had an accident at the location of the pump so we are going to try to have my insurance company take care of it

For those that are not electronically inclined. GT Motoring is also selling an air pump delete kit pre-made for $97 shipped, that is what I bought https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=711974 still a lot cheaper then a new air pump.

Thanks for this information!

I'm preparing for FI so I suppose this needs to be done. I ordered the parts from RadioShack.com. Total shipped price came to $19.80. I guess you could save 6.05 by purchasing in-store, but I figured they wouldn't have everything in stock.

I'll work on this when my order comes in and post up results. Add this to the AP2 retainers and banjo bolts sitting in the garage...

I don't have an issue with doing it I just need to look at the cables that the wires you have to connect go to.
