Do you mean "Secondary Air Injection"? When asking for help with problems like this, it is helpful to include vital information like ENGINE SIZE. Also, you need to include the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). That way, someone trying to help you will not be "guessing" trying to figure out what you need help with.
For instance if you are getting a coded for your secondary air injection system like DTC "P0410" , We can go to the troubleshooting charts for that code and get information on that code. Also, there may be Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that are published by the vehicle manufacturer that can simplify the task of identifying and repairing known problems with certain vehicles. An example of this is that the manufacturer (General Motors) has published a TSB for DTC P0410. There is a known problem with water getting into the pump and causing the pump to fail. The TSB prescribes a fix which involves replacing the secondary air injection pump and re-routing the intake filter for the pump so that water can no longer get into the pump.
This type of information cannot be provided to you if we do not know what engine we are working on or what code you are getting from your computer.
Also, it should be noted here that all OBD codes have a "generic description" of the fault, but OBD codes
NEVER tell you what parts need to be replaced. The fault codes only tell you which of the many systems monitored by the computer is failing to operate within its designed operating range or conditions.
