Secondary Air Valve

Secondary Air Valve

Product Description:

Maserati part number 171175 is a secondary air valve. It is a part of the secondary air injection (AIR) system, which is used to reduce harmful emissions from gasoline engines. The AIR system injects fresh air into the exhaust manifold after the engine has started. This helps to burn off any unburned fuel and pollutants that may be present in the exhaust gases.

The secondary air valve is responsible for controlling the flow of air into the exhaust manifold. It is a solenoid valve that is activated by the powertrain control module (PCM). When the PCM detects that the engine is cold, it will energize the secondary air valve, which will open and allow fresh air to flow into the exhaust manifold. Once the engine has warmed up, the PCM will de-energize the valve, which will close and stop the flow of air.

A faulty secondary air valve can cause a number of problems, including:

• Increased emissions.
• Engine misfires.
• Check engine light.
• Damage to other parts of the AIR system.

If you suspect that your Maserati has a faulty secondary air valve, it is important to have it checked by a qualified mechanic.

Here are some tips on how to check a secondary air pump check valve:

1. Loosen the connecting hose on the secondary air non-return valve leading to the secondary air pump.
2. If there are deposits on this side of the valve (finger test), the valve is faulty and needs to be replaced.
3. Inspect the secondary air pump and replace it if necessary.

If you are not comfortable checking the secondary air pump check valve yourself, you can take your car to a qualified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and replace the valve if necessary.
