The AIR pump on my '95 z28 LT1 keeps blowing the fuse. It stalled again after sticking. Is it worth pulling apart to fix (is this possible) or should I just buy a new one.
What sort of price do they go for in the US
TIA Mitch
Check the circuit closely, something is likely causing it to blow.
You can buy rebuilt air pumps through most auto parts stores. Joe--ASE Certified Parts Specialist & 10th Ann.Club Tech Director '80 Carousel Red Turbo T/A, 27k orig. '79 "Y89" 400/4 speed 10th Ann. T/A, 57k orig '84 Olds 88 Royale Bgm 2 dr, 307 "Rocket" (lol), 143k and still going....
Hello, there was a recall on the A.I.R. pumps having internal corrosoin causing the fuse to blow. The recall was for vehicles built between the vin breakpoints from S2100001 to S2229521. Those are the last 8 digits of your vin number in case you didn't know. If your Camaro falls inbetween those numbers, your vehicle may able to have it repaired for free. That is if there is a Chevrolet dealer over on that side of the pond and the recall is still in effect. I haven't done one in a while, so I'm not sure if the recall is still in effect. The part number they list in the recall is
88880033 and its listed as a "pump kit". If you decide to tackle it yourself and your able to get the parts, email me at snipped-for-privacy@cox.net and I can provide instructions. Sorry, I have no idea on the cost of the part.
Thanks, I'm making some enquiries but would imagine the free part to be unlikely. Failing that, are rebuild kits available from other vendors perhaps ?
Nope definately the motor. Fed directly it was sluggish to spin up, but then sounded better and was OK for about 2/3 weeks.
No, as I mentioned the pump is not field serviceable. You buy an off the shelf rebuild (if available) and install it. If not, a new one. Done.

I've never seen a rebuild kit for the AIR pump. The kit in the part number I gave you contains a new pump and related parts to correct the internal corrosion from happening again.
Cheers guys, thanks for the help.
