Secondary air injection pump. I gather it runs during the first 30 seconds or so of a cold start to force more air into the mixing chamber for reduced emissions. Mine is weak or something and causes the P0411 OBDII code to come on once a week or so. Haven't bothered to fix it…

Tried to unlock the door to get in the Cobra today, nothing happened. Get in, she's totally dead. I go to jump it and as soon as the batteries are connected I hear this loud humming sound coming from inside my passenger side fender. Take the air filter out and there is a part maybe alittle bigger than my fist that is just constantly going, never shut off and ate my battery up.



I have no idea what this is. Somebody care to enlighten me? Like I said its inside my passenger side fender, just below the hole for the air filter. It also has a few tubes going to it. Sorry for the ignorance, but the old 5.0 didnt have one of these. Thanks!

Franklin,,

Neil is right on. However, it sounds like the pump is OK but the relay that turns it on is staying enguaged. you might start there.
