I gotcha. It wouldn’t need the pump at all if it didn’t have AFM. I considered removing the pump and plumbing a vacuum line to the intake manifold. I run a Diablo Sprint module to keep it off. Once my power train runs out I’m gonna do the complete delete of it. New cam and all. I get the same highway mpg and better in town mpg without all of the crappy shifts, hesitation on acceleration, and horrible exhaust noises.
Pretty sure they would reimburse me. They covered 400 of my condenser even though I didn’t have it done at the dealer. That’s a whole nother story that gets my BP up though.
