Default Secondary air system?

Is it posable to remove the system and fool the computer?

Yes, you need to add in a resistor (available from 20squard) and cnc block off for the combi valve.

I deleted my secondary air intake (am I talking about the same thing as you?) and got a CEL, but proceeded to clear the codes and it never came back.

The entire system or just a part? If its not a whole (post pump), the code should come back sooner or later.

It was the entire thing, including the plastic pump that feeds into the stock airbox.

It's been two weeks. Way to be pessimistic about my car!


Bounceman, relevent to your topic; it's easier to relocate it to the drivers-side, and throw a little filter on it. That way you don't get the CEL. What year is your car?
