it doesnt control anything in the pcm... but you wont be able to connect to the pcm with a scanner if that fuse is blown... the pcm data port shares power with that fuse


Now that i can plug in the obd reader it says SECONDARY AIR which is the air pump?

ive also been told the air pump is an emissions device, but does it effect the power?
OR will replacing that fuse that supposedly also runs the ecm fix my air/fuel problems and loss of power problem?

this is all in question form and im only stating what has been told to me.
the Secondary Air pump is only active when the engine is cold...
above a certain temperature, it is shut off by the pcm...
it should not cause any differences on the dyno.

"to do next" would be to go back to the dyno
do pulls with the wideband in each exhaust pipe to see which one reads the richest, then check your HP/TQ Graphs... and decide if you want to spend thecash on a tune to re-dial the fuel and spark in to make the most power possible as your setup currently sits.

Did anyone catch he replaced the fuse with a larger one. You never do that as it will cause more problems.

Yeah I caught that, fuses are sized to prevent melting wires or damaging circuits... OP, go back and replace with the original size. If it blows again, find your ground and fix.

cleaned MAF sensor and the intake/filter. Replaced all spark plugs. Going to order a Walbro Fuel Pump tomorrow and then take her back to the dyno to see how she does. And ive never heard of that with the fuses but ill replace it with the correct size

Did you change your fuel filter before dropping the cash on a new fuel pump?
