quick question
Is the air pump clutch supposed to disengage once the car goes above idle?
I'm trying to plumb an airline from the pump to the cat to see if I can get it to pass emmissions, but if the pump disengages above idle, then it won't do me any good.
Also, my air pump isn't pulling vacuum at idle at the intake filter.
Does the pump maybe remain engaged only when the engine is under a load allowing it to pull vacuum at the pumps intake at higher RPM's?
Please help.
Thanks

I take it back, there is vacuum at idle, but I don't know enough to know what the air pump is for. Would it be a bad thing to temporarily remove the existing line that is attached to the back side of the engine and run it down to the cat to get through emissions? Or do I need to put a tee in there so both can be connected?
