Someone know why,
I already replaced the secondary air pump on my 2005 rx8 and the check engine light always come up again due to secondary air pump code p0410.
and also code p0171.

i cleaned the MAF sensor already i will check the vacumm lines may be a leak. You know if it can be a o2 sensor?
Yes, but that one is the toughest was gonna save that for last. Generally if an O2 sensor is bad it will throw a code BUT it could also be CC damage. If your vacuum lines check out next would be to drop your cat and inspect it. Your code is more likely a vacuum leak though so check that first.
edit: was the fuse the problem with your air pump?

I doubt it's the cat. Most likely a vacuum leak. But if that's not the problem you'll have to drop the cat next unfortunately. If the fuse is good I dunno what to tell you. The new air pump you installed must have been bad. Mine fires up in all my RX8s just fine.

I replaced the fuse and the code p0410 come up again.
Came up after you cleared the codes? Could try testing the air pump itself to make sure it works. It only turns on in the first 30 seconds when the engine is cold. You should be able to hear it run.

If you know the pump is working then it's likely the hoses are clogged. You'll need to check the hoses that go to the egr/check valve. Remove the valve of the pipe leading to exhaust manifold and the clean any residue and gunk. A symptom of clogged lines is a louder air pump noise than usual, similar to putting your hand over the suction of a vacuum cleaner. If the air isn't getting to the cat it will throw the code.

i will check everything the hoses and the valve to exahust, thanks for the help mate.
I think when something is wrong with the solenoid it will throw another code right?
