bad air pump?
My engine is starting to sound like a "jet engine" when it does a cold start. Kind of like this one posted below, but not near as bad. From what I understand its the bearings inside the housing of the air pump that are going bad. It only lasts about 30 secs ( I think this is when the air pump runs to heat up the CAT for emissions purposes). So is it a bad air pump? If so where can I get one? I've looked all over the net for a NEW one, but have came up with no success.

I live in Indiana. We don't have emissions tests here so I really don't need it at all. I would just take it out if it didn't cause a CEL. And I don't have an access port so I can't remove it from throwing a CEL.

I was/am looking for a new one, but I don't want to buy one from the stealership.

Since this is emissions related, is this covered under the emissions warranty? Since i'm right under 80k and its NOT throwing a CEL as of yet, I might just unplug it to get my engine to throw the CEL and take it to the dealership.

Looks like it IS covered by the emissions warranty. Anybody know how to get this to throw a CEL?

exactly! lol... partsgroup wants 150 for a used one! Thats almost the price of a new one.
Here's one for 85 and they said they would even check it before they shipped it to me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123
