Guest mee-kanics Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 hi can you help my ford galaxy is running badhave cheaked the ecu for codes and came up with p1413 Secondary Air Injection System Monitor circuit Low Voltage i think the air pump on the bulkhead is to fault but not sure please help thanks for looking Quote
MadBaz Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 The secondary air injection shouldn't make your car run 'bad' as it only runs for 90 seconds or so when car is cold and only provides an afterburner effect to get the cat up to temperature. Please let us know what engine/year then and more detailed description of 'running bad' (misfiring/reduced power/stalling/excessive fuel consumption etc) so peeps can help. Quote
