My smog pump is in its last stages.I can hear the pulley rubbing against the pump body and its about ready to go.IS THERE ANY WAY that I can re-route my serpentine belt to bypass the pump and still have the car running????PLEASE HELP!!!Its a PITA to put another one on.3.1 V6.

I would love to do that.But, I would need a pic or something with info on how to re-route the serpentine belt as to not interfere with the operation of the pulleys.

i just went and looked at mine. from what i could see it was a 922K6 belt its hard to tell worn down though.
Well..I decided to put another one on it.It seems the a**wipe who installed the last one did'nt tighten the bottom mounting bolt on good.This in effect wore out the bearings in the pump.The bottom bolt had worked out about 3/4" and put a strian on in.Putting on the new one took about an hour.I had the car on rapms, but it would have been easier to leave it on the ground.The hardest part was sticking it back through to line up the mounting holes.I guess it was'nt as bad as I thought it was going to be.Now I need to go get my core charge back,hehe...Thanks for the input guys!!!

Notice any difference with the new one in get up and go or not? Just wondering. I have one that buzzs when it is cold, but not when it's warm. I figure the injected air might make a difference when it comes to o2 readings, so that is why I am asking.

No...cant say i can tell a difference.The other was just irritating to hear and i wasnt going to drive it like it was.However, i did the throttle body bypass and i could tell the throttle was a little peppier.I need to do the tune-up thingy i think.'Bout time for it again.If if aint one thing its something else.HEHE.
