Problem: Bypass control solenoid making buzzing noise.
What's been done: Air pump delete kit (about 2 months ago) and research that leads only to folks who are looking to purchase a new one.
Codes: None as of right now

I would like to know exactly what (Part 2) does and if it's needed before I purchase one used/new. Keep in mind, I have a air pump delete kit, I reside in Florida, and this car won't need to pass any emissions testing. Furthermore, if I don't need (part 2) do I need (part 3) ?

Looking at the diagram below I am wondering if I even need the following:

• Part 3 - Vacuum Tank
• Part 2 - Bypass Control Solenoid
• and pretty much everything attached to this

Looking into the future, if I was to remove all this, would I essentially be connecting hose 8 --> hose 6?


Thanks in advance

if you deleted the Air Pump all that stuff is useless? that's what im thinking since most of the vacuum lines are deleted with the air pump

 

Thanks for the quick reply. That's what I was thinking too.

 

was looking trough the forum and all that is taken out when they do the Air Pump delete...

 

Yup. http://www.izzeracing.com/Simulator_Instructions.pdf

All I had to do was read the instructions.

 

you drove 2 months with that stuff there... sounds like a classic me... do stuff first then read instructions...

 

What's ironic is I read those instructions millions of times due to the wiring diagram and messing with the fuse box. I surely did not want to mess it up. Looks like I focused on the upper portion more than anything else.

Oh well. Learning experience nonetheless.

thanks for all the help.

Yeah I lost the breather off the damn thing and couldnt find a replacement without replacing the entire sensor.. So I decided to stop donating to the dealership and just remove the whole system. Did the mod a week ago and glad I did. Less things to go wrong..

 

Indeed! And it opens up some room in the bay and in the front bumper area for those looking to do brake vents (AP1) and whatnot.

 

And that "clean engine bay" that everyone so admires contributes to the pollution we and our children must breathe.....

That air pump is on the car for a reason.......unless you're tracking the car 100% of the time, it should be left in place.

Unless, of course, impressing your friends with a clean and open engine bay is so important to you....

Oops, forgot about the nanoseconds of faster acceleration you now have with the 2-3 lb weight reduction.....sorry
