C3 smog pump problem

Wayne, Mark and Diode. Thanks. You are all right on the money. In fact,
thanks a whole lot. I missed Dr. Rebuild's closing time by five minutes, so
I will call him tomorrow (grumpy sounding *******, isn't he?) and hope he's
got the diverter. And, I'm checking for Standard Ignition.

I suppose I need (or might as well) replace the diverter valve and the check
valves if they are available. Seems like usually when one thing gives way,
the rest are soon to follow.

Diode, I'd love to be creative in the solution as well, but since the car
needs to pass smog, I don't suppose I can be.

Thanks again. I'll let you know how it turns out both for availability and
cost.

It was pretty easy to tell from his web pages.

I found the exhaust check valve at NAPA for $14.00. I just ordered the
diverter valve from GiantAutoParts.com. It came to $50.00 includings 2nd
day air and taxes. I should be good to go in a couple more days.

Thanks again for the assistance.

Giant Auto Parts huh? I'll have to check that out... Is that $50 for a
new one? I've found a bunch of used ones (diverter valves) but they
prolly have the same problem that the one I already have does.

Let me correct a couple of things. The place is Auto Parts Giant. I had
that backward. They have two brands of diverter valves. The one I ordered
is the Standard Motor Products, # DV31. It's called an AIR
Management/Diverter valve. There is a picture of it, and it looks identical
to mine. The cost is $34.00. The other is KEM 137-192. There is a note
with it that says: oe unit #17084023. There is no price given. You have to
call them.

This is the URL for the main page of the site. You have to enter the
vehicle info to get to the right page for the valve.

They have the diverter tubes as well.

Hope that helps, Diode.
