Monte Carlo V6-204 3.4L DOHC VIN X SFI (1996)
Air Injection Hose/Tube: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
AIR hoses are made of heat resistant, non-reinforced rubber. Clamps, designed for high temperature conditions, connect the hoses to the pump and check
valve/pipe assemblies of each cylinder bank. The air injection pipes, connected to the exhaust manifolds, are high temperature, corrosion resistant
stainless steel.
Check valves remain the same as those used in earlier AIR systems. The valves are made of heat and corrosion resistant material. Located in the AIR
piping to each bank, check valves prevent exhaust backflow when AIR is commanded OFF or an exhaust backfire occurs.
