I am not sure about any of them actually i just bought the car and had to leave and my dad is telling me it smells like it is burning rich and that there is black stuff around the exhaust pipe. i think my dad said that the guy that owned it before put a new downpipe on it also. and i think the pre cat is on that right? i would assume the main cat is there but i will make my dad get his fat *** out there tomorrow and check. the airpump i am unsure about, i will have him check for that also. where is it located and what does it look like? a diagram would help. thanks

 

if he has a digital camera.... have him take a pic of the engine bay and underneath the car.... and then post them here. Hard to diagnose a problem without knowing what is on the car.

 

here you go these were taken a couple weeks ago when it was bought, but nothing has changed.

Well on th ecu it says "N3C2" above what resembles a bar code, then in the middle it says " EGI N3C2 18-881A", is that what you wanted?

 

The car is missing the air pump. You will not pass emissions with out it.

 

so from what i can tell.... you have an intake, Dp,MP, and catback on the car with a stock ECU.... you're not gonna pass emmissions and you are running on the ragged edge of safety with that engine without getting an ECU upgrade.
