smog pump help

[94gt5.0]

my smog pump is making a howling noise and i need to know if its bad it throws a code at different times like sometimes after 8 miles and some times under a mile i dont know if thats the reason that the check engine light comes on any help would be great

94-95's are a pain in the a**!!! The Engine light could be on because that, they have sensors that read the smog tubes or something like that.. but i also know that every 94-95 i have seen has the ces light on... the computers are just really sensitive and pretty much come on for no reason. and especially if you have mods.

It could be related. Have you had the car scanned to see what codes its showing?

I've never had a check engine light come on for no reason in either of my 94-95's.

Get a code scanner and see what the codes are.

its showing code a theromcore bank 1 and 2 below thresh hold and a egr opeining not detected scince then i have replace the egr and the smog pump because of the damn noise it was making and i still am having the check engine

[Killercanary]

The thermactor are the tubes that run between the heads on the firewall side of the engine. There is a tube that connects them to the tube coming from the airpump to the catalytic converter. I'd inspect it for holes/leaks and try to find a way to test the little valves that are in those tubing lines below the throttle body near the strut tower.

I'm guessing the CEL is from a bad o2 if it comes on and off like that.
