i took my air pump off last weekend and through the week i went in to limp mode, its a #51 code (the air pump relay), has it gone or do i need to do something like a resistor in the place of the air pump, cheers phil.

 

come on guys someone must know this.

 

bro I think you win for the most threads started in Gen D within a 5 day period


You need to use a resistor if you remove the air pump and run the stock ECU. Looks like its POWER FC time

 

Haha, for sure. This guy gets the post king award for the week!

 

fresh sounds man, thanks for the crown for post king of the week, i havent been out in the daylight all weekend but i am nearly done, the power fc is next but in the meen time do you know what ohm resistor i need.

 

whats fresh sounds mean? Listen to my band you crazy english man !

 

i did, you sound good (fresh) god dam it. im not so crazy you know jerzy.

 

Are you getting 51 or 54?

51 - Fuel pump relay
54 - Air pump relay

 

51, my car is rhd so i have to use an LED in the diagnostic box it comes out a bit different to the light on the dash, on the list for my LED flashing its the air pump relay. i have removed the air pump this is why its coming up as that.

 

lol I know I live in the NEW Jersey, you have the original jersey in England lol !

 

If that is the problem, a simple test would be to reconnect the airpump connection (not reinstall it) and see if the code is still there. However, I think you have a different problem.

 

that is a good idea but i have thrown the pump now it was making a noise so it was f**ked anyway, i have just checked it is the air pump on my list and the fuel pump on your list. so jerzy do you know what resistor i need.

 

What list are you using?

The airpump relay has nothing to do with the airpump directly. There is a relay in the relay box for the airpump. Most likely that relay has either been removed or damaged.
