And just for reference... my CEL is been on for 6 months. I read the codes and checked the forums... its emmisions stuff.

Sign up to http://www.renntech.org
to get the codes.

Welcome.

You might want to attend to this emissions stuff anyway.

In the long run, it can't be good for your car or my air.

I have a problem with the secondary air pump. Which means that the valve or switch are bad, and the air pump can not dump extra air into the exhaust allowing the car to pass emmisions tests when the engine and Cats are cold. So my car doesn't "cheat" right now.

The air is still safe. And I will correct the problem, its just not a priority right now.
