Auto Parts: Chevy K5 air induction system, chevy k5 blazer, air induction system


Question
I have a 88 Chevy K5 Blazer.  Its equipped with a 5.7 liter V8 with an A.I.R. (air induction recirculation) system.  I want to convert the engine to a non-AIR system.  Question: What do you suggest should be removed/added to have the truck function properly without the AIR stuff?

Answer
Hi Manny,

Legally I'm not permitted to answer that question so if you tell me why you wish to disable the emissions system, I may be able to offer you some sort of answer.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
