can you delete the silly airpump thing?

It runs off a relay that is in the ecu box under the main ecu. That relay is powered by a fuse in the engine bay fuse box. You can loose all that. If there is no power going to it at all the ecu will not even throw a code. I didnt even bother ordering the block off plate, just cut one out of a steel bar I had laying around

Question: I threw the code for the air pump solenoid, Since the code is already there how do I get rid of it so I can go through emissions next year?. I don't want the emissions test to reveal a dtc stored in the ecu.

Two ways. Fix what caused the code. Or reset the computer and hope it doesn't come back. I think you can figure out which one to do.

yes, thank you. I was wondering however , if I pulled the fuse to the air pump and deleted the cel. will the deleted cel show up at next years emissions test?.

I am just courious. I will probably fix the solenoid just beforethe emissions and I was just courious however.

IF you delete the code and the cause of it coming on in the first place then no they won't see it. Do you know what caused the code to happen? and whats up with the attached picture of the 1st gen?

Thank you for the answer. Yes the code is caused by the solenoid failure to the air pump. The first generation rx7 really has nothing to do with any thing. How do I erase it if it is not supposed to be here?. sorry , it had no bearing on any thing. I have a few ist generation pics on my computer. Didn't mean to confuse you.

I don't drive it in the winter and I know the code is for the air pump which is for the emmissions to help warm up the cat other wise I don't think it has any effect on the rest of the car and I feel I don't need it so why spend money on it. Thanks
