my smog pump bearings are toast get what sounds like a death rattle at idle i have fitted a shorter belt and have not removed the pump.engine now sounds sweet.do i need to do anything else or can i drive it like this.
A lot of people have done that. I ran mine like that when my smog pump gave out, then I simply removed all the smog equipment, plugged the holes in the back of the heads, and called it a day. I eventually installed a smog delete pulley so I could retain the stock length belt.
I blocked the holes in the back of the head, and run a shorter belt. Been many years now.
I've been driving with everything in place but just bypassed for a while now. We have no emissions where I live now, but I want to leave everything in place just in case I move back.
ok thanks for that going to remove pump and pipes another day.now getting code 44 & 94 belive these are both smog pump related.
What length of belt are you using? I'm wanting to get a shorter belt that I could swap in just in case my smog pump goes out while driving.
6pk2395 thats with pas and a/c.
Ok, thanks!
