Hi,
The secondary air pump is part of the emissions system. It injects fresh air into the exhaust for a cleaner burn. If it is bad, you will likely not notice much change, but it can eventually lead to power and performance loss. Additionally, the catalytic converter will not function as efficiently and can be damaged over time.
The part really isn't hard to replace, and you can get it for under $150.00.
First, pics 1-3 are the directions for removing and replacing. The last pic is from Rockauto. Com showing prices for a replacement part.
If you want to try doing this, let me know. Again, it's not hard and I can help you through it.
Let me know.
Take care,
Joe
See pics below. Note: Neither 2carpros. Com nor I have any association with rockauto. I suggested them due to the price. Under $200.00 is a lot better than approximately $800.00. LOL
