I know most people remove it, but I think its on its way out as I think its making a funny screeching noise when the gas is between 1500-3000rpm so I just want to unplug it check if its that...

I know people remove it completly but I just want to disable it quickly to check if thats the problem...

pls help

thanks

 

There's a connector on top of the airpump that you can unplug.

 

cool thanks, also reading through ALL the old posts about this I think the sound can be described the same as this

'The problem ended up being the ACV check valve. It just wasn't seated correctly.'

Where can I find the ACV check valve? sorry for being a newbie....

 

The ACV is under the Upper Intake Manifold bolted to the Lower Intake Manifold. It's held on with 3 (or 4, can't remember exactly) real pain in the rear bolts. Pull the UIM off and you can't miss it.

 

ok, cool thanks....

just attempted to have a look, but its sunny old england and its pouring with rain as usual ! have to leave it till next weekend to have a look

i found this pic on another rx7 site with the airpump removed, is the thing i'm looking for round here somewhere, i just want to know what i'm looking for?
