jason32073 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 The belt came off the AIR pump several years ago on my 93 3100. I thought it was the AC compressor (not very mechanical back then) so I didn't really worry about it. The Haynes book states that is only necessary for the 5 speed transmission. However I have not noticed any performance difference over the years. Thoughts? Quote
jman093 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 I've never actually seen an air pump on these cars. Makes sense if it's 5 speed only. You're right in that it won't affect performance much one way or the other. Probably worth a couple horsepower if left off. jason32073 1 Quote
jason32073 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Posted March 5, 2016 That's what I was thinking. I have been thinking about removing it altogether. Quote
pitzel Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 IIRC, it wasn't a performance item. More of an emissions control item. If it works with it "disabled", then don't see the point of re-enabling. Quote
