355, Anyone removed the Air-Injection Device?

As topic says. Anyone?

Did you plug the system, from the pump?

Is this system excluded on the Challenge-cars?

Can't do it in North America, it is part of OBDII and will trip the "check engine" light if disabled.

 

Ok, thank you for your reply.

Is this possible to do on a Motronic 2,7 Euro model(-95)? Im thinking of removing it permanently.

K /// Sweden.

 

Yup.

 

Right - I understand '95s are OBDI, like my 348, and I removed it on my car. Don't believe this system is connected to the OBD system on '95 355s.

 

How did you plug/reroute it? It seems to be working together with the Vacuum system.

I can't say anything specific about the 355... as I said, I own a 348. It sounds like your car has a vacuum pump, while mine does not. The system on my car was totally vacuum (pulse) operated. I just removed the valves and tubing that connected to the heads, and plugged the holes in the heads. I then removed all the vacuum hose on the engine, and just ran one new hose from the induction vacuum port to a valve on the bottom of the induction system that was the only other vacuum item (except for the vapor emissions system) on the engine. Here's a link to a thread with pics showing what I did...

If you need more help, you will have to find someone else who has familiarity with doing this on a 355 like yours.
