Air pump failure symptoms V70-XC70 1998

Hi Steve.

Thanks for the response. I spend half my time in Sedona, AZ, and it gets down below the 30s starting this month. Does the pump run after a cold-day startup initially to mofify the fuel-air mixture, then shut off when the engine is warm? Sounds like an emissions gadget if so.

Any way to test the pump without starting the engine, or is it one of those many things I should not worry about?

Also, since you got me thinking about cold weather, should I change my Mobil 1 10w30 to a different viscosity oil during the winter?

Thanks again,

Mike Harris in Sandy Eggo
