The airpump is gone on my 98 S70 N.A. I really don't want to shell out the $$ to replace given it serves very little purpose.

I recall reading/hearing about a way to eliminate it and avoid the ECM throwing codes. I couldn't find anything when I did the brickboard search. I recall that if you use an O2 eliminator (a capacitor/resisters setup) you can do this. Would the 02 eliminator go in place of the pump? or the secondary O2 sensor. I think the secondary O2 sensor only measures emissions and does nothing to adjust mixture...but not sure.

Anyone done this or had success?
