It\'s where the air pump pumps its air. If you have no air pump, it may, or may not, get blanked off.

You have an air pump... but it isn\'t pumping anywhere as the blocked pipe is the main one from the pump IIRC??

it does just what it is.... pump air into the cat so the emmisions are down.......as yours is not connected. get a underdrive pully set and take that huge/heavy thing out :P
