Testing Notes

CAUTION: Do not use a pry bar to move the air pump for belt adjustment.

NOTE: The secondary air injection system is not completely noiseless. Under normal conditions, noise rises in pitch as engine speed increases. To determine if noise is the fault of the AIR system, disconnect the belt drive (only after verifying that belt tension is correct), and operate the engine. If the noise disappears, proceed with the test for your symptom. Diagnosis By Symptom
