Local mechanic blew out all the carbon and ran cleaner through the system. The car runs, accelerates and shifts awesome. I just bought and of course this happens to me. The code is secondary air injection system malfunction.

 In the underhood fuse box you will find a 50 amp maxi fuse for the air pump.You will most likely find this fuse blown.If you do you will need to replace the secondary air injection reaction pump.Commonly called A.I.R pumpIf you choose to do this yourself I would suggest replacement of the vacuum control solenoid at the same time.I have seen the solenoid fail and cause exhaust to enter the pump and be the cause of the failure.If you need help replacing the parts just ask.Please click on my accept button after viewing.If further help is needed on this problem I will help for the fee you already paid by giving me the accept.

Reply to Davo/diablo666's Post: The maxi fuse is not blown. If the fuse was replaced, would it blow again? Does a bad AIR pump have any effects on shifting or acceleration or how the car runs?

I hear the pump in the morning I believe, it is a low humming sound correct? Is there a way to test if the pump is working?

The 10 amp fuse is good. I am not a mechanic, so I don't know where the hose is you are talking about.

Relist: I still need help.
Having same problem again. It was fixed for a while. I replaced the AIR pump once. The old one had a lot of water in it. All I did was replace the pump, I did not do anything to keep the water from getting in the new one. What allows water in the pump?

Relist: I still need help.
I replaced the pump, again. I cleaned the air filter and at start up I feel is sucking air through, but I am still getting water in the pump. Is there anything else that can cause water getting into the pump?
