So my girlfriends uncle helped me change/flush my anti-freeze/coolant today. Anyways while we were messing around with the car we noticed a hose disconnected......and saw it went to nothing? Then a plug...not plugged in, and another piece of house with...... *drumroll* a LUGNUT put in it? wtf? is going on here is what we thought 
We looked in my haynes manual and learned it was the electric air pump that feeds air from the air intake(first hose down to the air pump(missing) where that plug goes into, and then the other hose with the chrome lugnut in it thats disconnected obviously that runs to the catalyst converter). Did really read wtf its function is for but WTF!!!
Back in December my fuel pump went out and I took it to the place I bought my car to have it replaced. Ever since then my SES light comes on sometimes while on the highway(catalyst convertor to hot? who knows can't find anyone with a obd1 scanner). And I KNOW it was there because when I installed the SLP cold air intake back in october it was present. Pretty shady work as they probably expected me to come back or needed it for their car or someone elses.
So my question is
Wtf does this air pump EXACTLY do
Do I need to replace it or could it cause problems(that ses light maybe?)
How much are they? Thanks guys
