Remove the air pump/acv/pipes and blank it all off.

So you have removed the Air-Pump then...
If so get a blanking kit and tidy up the engine bay. HTH.

OK then!!!! I\'ll pull it off!

What about the pipe that returns back to the air box from the back of the UIM...... is that to do with the air pump or does that need to stay (you know the one, rubber pipe about an inch diamiter that runs below the metal pipe from the air pump to the engine)??
