Everybody sing (to the tune of smelly cat)!
Smelly car, smelly car, why did I pull the cats?
Smelly car, smelly car, you need the smog stuff.

it is a less than 20 minute process. three bolts if i remember correctly. pull it off, open it up (3 allen bolts) and clean it or replace it. mine needed degreased and a light sandpaper job on the walls of the pump. easy.Think my smog pump is getting ready to die. Had it replaced 2-3 years ago, but started making noise a month or so ago. This morning, horrible squeal from under the hood when I tried to start it up. Eventually got car to start and made it to work (hope I can get home tonight!). Would like to possibly tackle this myself. Anyone have any experience (preferably directions, pictures) on how difficult it is to do yourself? I'd like to save on the labor costs, but I'm afraid I'll be getting into an all day (or more!) project. Thanks
it really is simple, no need for a pic heavy write up. hope you get home ok.Sounded more like a metal squeal (bearings?), but could very well have been the belt. Restarted car several times after noise stopped ("seized" smog pump broke free??), and restarted it once at work. Just hoping when it fully cools down I'm not going to be stranded this evening. Saw detailed description of s.p. remove/replace but it wasn't for a Fox body (just using a Fox body s.p. on something like a 93-95 Mustang). Was hoping someone had something similar for a 1990. Thanks, though, for the response!
