what airpump?
 

I dont have the air pump hooked up in my seven, should I what does it do and what benefit does it reap? thanks for any info

smog test passing
 

If your in a strict state, it's needed to get past emissions testing. It's needed to both be present and operative. Otherwise just take it off to clean up the engine bay.

well if its an na if you take it off your 6ports wont open, i am putting on a contraption from coldfires right up in the arcives since i dont have cats any more. i am going to take the acv off and the air muffler. run a hose from the back of the air pump and tap into the line like the write up says.

if its a tII i dont know what it dose for them

Not true. He's got a 87 which means the 5/6th ports are opened by backpressure via the exhaust.

does nothing at all on a tii.

so hook that hp suckin sonbitch back up or the 5/6ports wont open? would explain why it has been a real honda lately, no power above 4000 :D thanks guys

OOORRRRR it could be other reasons, so whats the good word? no smog testing in colorado, should I ditch or keep it? nothing will explode or light on fire if I dont will it?

Just pull it. No real downside. The ports are operated by exhaust back pressure, just make sure the split air pipe is OK and hooked up at both the cat end as well as the engine. Also that the check valve in the air pipe going from ACV to the cat is still functional. If you want to check your port actuators put some low pressure air to the line that connects to split air pipe. You can see them operate. If they're stuck just spray some carb cleaner on them and work them loose by hand.
Have fun

Time = not very long.
