I know there has been a ton of threads on this so i tried to disguise the topic a little.

I just removed my air pump and installed the belt.Now the tube that was connected to the air pump is pushing air out is that normal? also i am getting a mid pipe so what should be removed now that the air pump and mid pipe will be installed? do i have to cap off some stuff or what?

By the way the car is running like a bag of s*hit after my auto to manual swap.

 

cap it off. also I have a mid pipe for sale, if interested.

 

Is the wiring right from the swap? Mine would hardly start up, and if it did, it would run like doo-doo and backfire a lot. I took it to a shop, and found out that the wiring was wrong. The swap was done before I bought it. The guy at the shop said that whoever did the swap messed up the wiring big time.

 

There is a tube that runs up to the airpump from the cat. remove that. Or, since you're getting a midpipe, you can leave everything in place and just have useless pieces in the car.

the reason you are getting air going the other way is because you're exhaust is essentially leaking up to where the airpump used to be.

and for you're AT>MT swap, whats wrong? the only thing that stopped working on mine was the AWS after i did my swap.
