Answer
Eddie, Ambient air is injected into the exhaust system upon cold start up for around 90 seconds to speed the heating of the cataylitic converters. This is the secondary air system. The air pump is in the front of the engine bay or behind the bumper, I cant remember it has a corrugated black plastic hose that connects to the non-return valve (Round silver shinny metal cylinder) bolted to the cylinder head. The non-return valve allows the air into the exhaust ports when it receives engine vacuum to hold the valve open. The small little black vacuum hose tears and breaks very often when it gets old. Replace as necessary. This is the most common cause. Let me know either way and fill out a follow up survey if you would.
