Basically it blows more air through the exhaust of a vehicle to make the catalytic converters heat up faster therefore reducing emissions. If the engine is cold you may hear it running on some vehicles. Once it reaches operating temperature the pump no longer runs.

WOULD CAR still run even if air injection pump is not workin?
Yes, but the air pump is a part of the emission system and if it fails it may cause the check engine light to illuminate.

What is a air pump on a 1998 Z28?
I have an 1981 camaro and the air pump on that is an emission related part located on the front of the engine compartment. My understanding is that it pumps air to to make the engine exhaust meet the emissions requirement. These pumps are not in the older prior to computer and emissions standards. Another expensive thing next to the catalytic converter. Can thank the green groups.
What are emission levels?
Emission levels means the amount of something that is being emitted. For example, we want to lower the emission levels of factory pollution that is going into the air.
I'm trying to find a remanufactured 351windsor engine for my 1997 F250 4wd pickup and they ask does your engine have AIR inner head or AIR inner manifold and the dealership don't know what it is?

What are 'devices which control particulate emission in air'?

What exactly is an emission test and why is it necessary?
An emission test is used to make sure your car won't let out too many pollutants into the air. It is necessary to reduce air pollution in a city.
How do you pump a air gun?
Most "PUMP" air guns use the for-arm (Forward Handle) to pump the air gun.
Why do some states make you do an emission test while others don't?
States that are higher in population usually have emission test to keep down air pollution. In states that have a low population air pollution isn't as much as a problem so they don't have emission tests.
What is the purpose of a vehicle emission test?
The purpose of a vehicle emission test is to make sure that a vehicle is not emitting harmful toxins into the air. What is tested for varies by state but mainly looks for carbon emission.
