What is this thing? And do I need it? Its on my 96 Firebird LT1. Its a california car so it may have had emissions stuff that others didn't.

It is a vacuum solenoid that is part of your AIR pump plumbing. I'm sure Cali will make you keep it.

Well the car is in TX now so I'm gonna rip it off of there. Along with all that other garbage.

 

[Bennylava]

Just curious but can't even Cali be tricked? You know, just remove all that junk and them program it out of the computer so it shows all clear on the check engine light?

It would be hard to pass a visual inspection (if done) with the items missing.

Its all about who you know and the money in your hand.

The AIR pumps now are electric and have no effect on power. It won't hurt your performance to leave it on.

Yeah I saw that the pump was electric when I pulled it off. I'd just like all that crap off of there cause the motor looks so much cleaner without it. And it gets easier to work on with out all that in the way.
