explaination on pacesetters, 3.4

when it says no air support, does that mean i have to remove my air conditioning? or the A.I.R. system? thanks for the help

i bought pacestters from summit racing, and they work fine with my air conditioning!

When it says does not support AIR, it means your A.I.R. system, not your AC:)

By air support they mean A.I.R as in A.I.R pump what's attached to you're manifold it recirculates the you're exhaust air and recycles it for you're intake it's basically useless.

thanks alot, now to remove the AIR, system... what do I need to do?

[viper98885]

The A.I.R. system does not recirculate exhaust back into the engine. It is a pump located on the front right frame rail that activates only during certain conditions (such as startup) and pushes fresh air into the passenger side exhaust manifold to mix with the exhaust so that when goes through the catalytic converter, it will come out cleaner.

The EGR system recirculates the exhaust gas, hence the name Exhaust Gas Recirculation.

To remove the air system you will need to disconnect the electrical connector from the AIR pump. You will also need to remove the tube that bolts into the passenger side exhaust manifold and plug it if you are keeping stock manifolds. If you are getting headers, you will not need to worry about plugging this hole.
From there, just remove the piping and the pump from the frame rail. There will be a rubber hose leading to the air intake tract that will need to be removed and the hole on the intake tube will need to be capped. That's about it.

i don't beleive that i removed this when i put headers on mu 94 , 3.4???? it runs fine though

[Leviathan1994]

will this effect emmisions? (removing AIR).. and also, is it a good idea to get rid of the EGR system?

[viper98885]

It will only affect emissions on a stock exhaust manifold engine. There is not a fitment on the Pacesetter headers for the AIR pipe. You can remove the pump if you want to, but there will not be any probelms with not removing it. You will want to remove the pipe that leads to the stock manifold though

thanks

i dont have a clue as to what they are talking about ... josh , do you have any pictures of what this AIR pump looks like .. i just figured that we didnt have them....

[95Batmobile]

I don't know what that is either... the only things that hooked into my headers was 02 sensor on driver side, 02 sensor and EGR on passenger side... that was it.

i am very interested in this now??? i didn't do anything like that and haven't had any problems in over a year!!!
