Re: Where's the air pump?

Hi all,

I found the air pump. removed it from the vehicle, and put 12 volts to it. Ran like a champ. I replaced it on the vehicle, and followed the inlet and outlet hoses to the check valve, where I found the electrical connector disconnected. Apparently, the GM tech who replaced the spark plugs didn't put it back correctly.
I am hoping that someone can explain to me why there are wires going to a check valve. I am an industrial mechanic, with 30+ yrs experience, and I can't recall ever seeing an electrical check valve in a hydraulic or pneumatic system. Thanks for any help!
