SilverBullet88

My problem starts when the engine warms up. The smog pump starts to chirp and squeak, which I know isn't such a bad thing, but it is damn annoying. The 2nd problem is when the car has been ran for a while, my radiator cap spits out coolant. Now, the engine has never ran hot, nor has it overheated, but I know this cannot be a good thing. I did replace the cap, but it is still doing it.

With the smog pump, I called rotary performance, and the guy told me to put air compressor oil in it, which cured the noise for a while, but it has recently started again. He also said if I removed the pump, something about my cat would back up and i would lose HP.

Anyway, I would appreciate any advice I can get.

Thanks

Go to a junkyard and buy another airpump.

As for the radiator, You're saying coolant is leaking around the cap, but you've already replaced the cap? Is the replaced OEM or cheap? It might not be fitting right. Check to make sure the rubber seal is in place and not cracked and make sure there are no cracks on the neck where the cap is.

The new cap I baught at auto zone, so i know it isnt OEM, but the seals are fine. Maybe there is too much coolant in the car and its putting too much pressure on it cause some to leak out.

what kinda condition is it in? (airpump that is). and will it work on my 88? (probably just curious)

should be. I just ordered it from a company off the forums but I dont even need it... Just gonna do something else to get around emissions, so the airpump is still in the box taped up. Didnt even open it
