What is an air injection diverter valve?
The air diverter valve is operated by the air bypass solenoid, and opens to allow air into the exhaust system, but closes to prevent exhaust from escaping.
What is smog pump?
Pump Type: The Air Pump, or Air Injector Reactor (AIR), system design is commonly referred to as the smog pump. The smog pump is responsible for supplying fresh, pressurized oxygen into the exhaust stream near the exhaust manifold. The spinning vanes of the air pump forcing air into the diverter valve accomplish this.
How do you test an air injection check valve?
The secondary air valve can be quickly inspected in an easy way:
- Loosen the connecting hose on the secondary air non-return valve leading to the secondary air pump.
- If there are deposits on this side of the valve (finger test, see Fig.
- Inspect the secondary air pump and replace it if necessary.
How do I know if my smog pump is bad?
One of the first symptoms of a bad or failing smog pump is a rough running engine. When a smog pump fails the finely tuned air-fuel ratios can be upset, and it will negatively affect the performance of the engine. The engine may have trouble idling, and may drop in engine speed, or stall when the pedal is pressed.
Can you drive a car without a secondary air injection pump?
The system is critical to help cars achieve government emissions standards. So, the law says you need a secondary air injection system. Which begs the question: Does a car need a secondary air injection system to run? Strictly speaking, no, it doesn’t.
How do I know if I have a bad check valve?
Symptoms of a Failing Check Valve For example, failing check valves will start to vibrate and even lose some internal parts when problems begin to arise. Other symptoms of check valve failure include reverse flow and excessive component wear and damage. Check valves will also emit noises as they start to break down.
Can you drive with a bad smog pump?
Repairing a bad air pump While failing a smog test is a serious enough problem, the real danger from a bad air pump is the possibility that reduced engine performance and driveability could cause be hazardous to your driving safety.
