How does a secondary air injection pump work?

What causes a gas pump to go bad?

The code can be tripped by a clogged line between the pump and the exhaust manifold, a clogged reed valve in that line, a loose vacuum line to the reed valve or a restriction in the duct molded in the exhaust manifold that directs the air into the exhaust stream. Since the pumps work very little, they don’t usually go bad. db4690
