Hello,


I have a 2000 SL2. The air pump is not going on in the first 5 minutes of warm up, and the engine light is on, and I need to get it smogged.


(Error codeP0410.)


I replaced the valve and its running better, but no fan.


Can I run a wire to the battery and test it that way?


Can any one recomend a wrencking yard?


Thank you, Ron


It runs a little ruff, and has a hard time shifting in to high gear. I''''m thinking of trying one the those gas saver/ power booster adjusting chip.Edited by: salesman11

Really short answer here ... you will get more enjoyment out of your money by setting it afire on the street corner than you will by buying a ''booster'' chip ...

They actually have the opposite effect. You''ll loose power and the car will run so rich, it''ll waste gas, foul the plugs, catalytic converter and O2 sensors.
