How to delete the smog/air pump from a 92-96 f150 V8 

Are the holes in the back of the heads where the crossover tube went? And are they supposed to be plugged?

Yes the holes are where the crossover tube went. If you don't plug them you will have a bad exhaust leak

FIX IT AUTO could that cause a condition in which my spark plugs would go bad rapidly?

What size belt did you use

@@cleanassfrd3703 not at all, it was meant to cutdown on emissions. Your plugs will have the same identical life as usual.

Thanks I painted it when I rebuilt the motor. I wanted it to match the red and black exterior of my truck

My truck has a stored code for the pump missing but it doesnt illuminate the cel.

I’m about to do this on my 1996 bronco 5.8L I removed the egr and 02 sensors so far sounds a lot better already 👍🏻 thanks for the video! Going to pick up the belt tonight they said it’s 97.6 inches hope that’s what you got?

Will this pass smog if I delete this thing? This is the only trouble code that I need to fix

I'm not sure as I live in Canada and we do not have emissions testing but don't think it would as all the pump does is pump fresh air into the exhaust I assume to kind of fool the emissions testing machine

They have the same thread pitch?

Mine does flap aswell. It has never come off

I ended having the same problem and have since switched to a 96.5" belt and it fixed them

I have same problem on my bronco 4.9300l6

sorry for the late reply. deleting the smog pump will take a little bit of stress off of the engine, freeing up a tiny amount of hp. it also cleans up the engine bay as well. and as long as you leave all the solenoids on the driver valve cover electrically connected you will not have any cel's. basically there is no bad effects on the engine but your truck will probably not pass emissions if you live in a state that has emissions.

@@fixitauto1616 thanks preciate it

@ZeroNadaZilch no it won't. By taking it off will allow the engine to do what it was ment to do, be a unrestricted engine. Egr and all the bs they put on engines to pass emissions shorten the life of a engine.

The electrical components on the drivers side,,I see you left them plugged up but did you cap off the airline connection

@@kennyhendricks6260 I was wondering the same thing. Fix It Auto, did you plug the vacuum on the TAB/TAD relays? What do you think about the 100ohm resistor method?

The belt I'm using is 97'' long

@Paul Tucker I noticed after making this video that my belt squeals a little bit when I start my truck. I am going to try a smaller belt like 96.5" or something and see if that helps.

@Paul Tucker will do. Thanks!

​@@fixitauto1616 On Auto Zone, I looked up what belt pitch/angle Continental (my favorite brand, personally) recommended, and it's the 4061020 (102") with the smog pump, so I bought a 4060965 (96.5") to use with the smog bypass and it works great! This isn't so much for you, FIX IT AUTO, but anyone else that reads this: It's a bit of a bear to get it on, but the easiest method was to get it on all the pulleys (I use the same smog bypass belt path you used) - but on your fan pulley, run it over the fan blade shaft, not the pulley so you have some extra slack. Once it's on all the pulleys and routed around the fan shaft, wiggle the belt onto the fan pulley housing since it has a nice round-over on that pulley that you can slide it up. Also note that your tensioner's "most relaxed" position with this new belt route isn't at 100% backed off, like it used to be. The most relaxed position is at about 75% - so if you hold your tensioner at about 75%, you'll get a tad more slack. A bit of water on the fan pulley housing can help reduce the friction, but I didn't need it my case. No more squeaks and squeals at startup or hard acceleration! :D

I remove the whole pump and everything associated with it

FIX IT AUTO I did the same thing you did but it’s sounds like my belt is slipping in first just I only pulled off the pilot cause I didn’t care about the check engine light is that ok?

It might if you unplug the tab and tad solenoids that I mention in the video. I left them plugged in and haven't had any cel set because of this mod

makes the engine breath a bit better. when the smog pump and EGR start acting up you can have idling and stalling issues.

@@Misteryman321literally my experience right now. Chasing down egr codes like a wild goose chase

really?

Yes unless you keep the electrical connector connected and just use a block off plate between the egr and the intake manifold

No I'm in canada

It's a custom made tube out of 3.5" exhaust piping with a specter 12" cone filter

I am using a 97" continental belt

FIX IT AUTO thanks man i gotta couple more questions about the delte

Try a shorter belt

Yes there is. It's called an Air Pump in parts store systems.

This is the 5.8 liter, 351 Windsor

I you do it right it’s great but other than that it’s best to leave it alone lol

It takes the load of the smog pump off the engine thus freeing up a couple hp. It also cleans up the engine bay a little bit

@@fixitauto1616 are these steps similar to an f-250?

I assume it would be but I do not know for sure

With the same belt route as factory, less air pump?

Adam can you call me and talk about what you did? I have a 93 f150 and I want to do this

same here

Its the air intake for the smog pump if you delete the pump you don't need it

No problem, happy to help

That’s a stock 5.8 intake it just is painted to look fancy. Edelbrock makes a 5.8 and a 5.0 truck intake for efi but they are a lil pricey

Try a shorter belt

@@fixitauto1616 ive put on the shortest belt i can physically get on still squeals i just dunno if the tensioner has enough spring to keep tension on such a tight loop

I made it

@@fixitauto1616 its tight, ima make me one

@@Crypto4x I just used the factory Y and then used 3.5" exhaust piping and a cone filter

@@fixitauto1616 cool appreciated that

@@fixitauto1616 Please make a video just on your intake. Did you do any other mods to your throttle body or sensors?
