air pump....searched

Ok so i searched my *** of so please no flaming.
i want to do this:
2. Trick ACV into pumping air to the cat all the time by removing the FORWARD UPPER vac hose, and capping it.

and do i have one of these?
1. Turn variable resistor to full lean, or as lean as you can get and still run.

oh and by the way the alcohol thing works i went from 40 down to 18 carbon monoxide, but it wasnt enough for me, so ive already bought a new cat. I just want o get the emssions stuff done with. thanks!

if you run the pump directly to the cat, dont expect it to last too long...

As far as passing the visual, you shouldn't have to worry too much. I've get the air pump, ACV, etc. removed and I didnt even get a question asked. I doubt someone would notice a rerouted hose.

DO NOT MESS WITH THAT VARIABLE RESISTOR UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!!!! You can really mess things up!

Let me see if there is a pic of the ACV...

There is an easier way...All you need to do, as you are looking at the ACV, to the rear of it there are 2 Vacuum lines coming in. The one in the FRONT controls the Air to the cats (Split air i think its called). Unplug the FRONT vacuum line and plug the vacuum line. This will disable the switching solenoid and run fresh air to the cats at any speed. I have tested this on an emissions machine and it drops your CO readings signifigantly. I dont have any pics handy to show but if you get lost, I will get some.

Here is the best I can do... Crappy pic, but I am at work, so bear with me. And I called you, but you didnt answer!

follow the red line, not the black one.
