alright guys,
Got a cel today,scanned it and got the codes p1423,p1411.I know these both relate to the secondry air injection pump.I've tried a search but cant seem to find the exact location for the pump on the 2.8 v6,i know its on the front passanger side near the bumper,any diagram would be app..Also when i start the car i can hear a whinning from the front passanger side,so i take it that my pump must be on the way out?
any help would be appricated.

 

i have 1.8t, but i would, follow the hose or pipe from your air box, you should start from there.

 

I believe its under the airbox, but follow the hoses, that should help.

 

yea thank you,just coped on to that,followed the pipe down to underneath the airbox,found what must be pump it has a second pipe leading out and up towards the manifold.
started the car and got down and listened its buzzing like mad.

 

If you get under your car under the engine. It should be right by your DV. There is a small probably inch wide crinkled hose going to it

 

lol he doesnt have a dv hes a 2.8

 

yea i found the pump,its still working but its loud.im wondering now if it could be something else that threw the code-combi valve,vacuum line ,bad solenoid etc.
does anyone know how to remove the combi valve to clean it?

 

just checked the pump by disconnecting the pipe from the intake box,it's sucking away like paris.Now im wondering would the cel be thrown if the pump was working but prehaps not to its full extent?also i have two combi valves,right?So is there anyway of telling which one is going bad?
Could the cell have been thrown due to colder weather?

 

Shiza Manelli My bad

 

wish i had one lol
