So obviously my car didn't shut down because of the air pump. This is what he wrote in the quote:
-New Air Pump and Relay: $1,250
-Remove and replace air injection reactor: $38
-Relay: $360
They didn't check RCM because the mechanic was not qualified for that...
I drove my NA for almost 1 year with that code. i was debating fixing it or trading it in. not once did it cause my car to stall, die, not start. It sounds more like the crank sensor. did you actually run the codes or have the mechanic do it for you. the CPS costs about $100 and needs 30 minuts of labor, but the pump replacement takes alot longer so there is more money for them to make. FYI a shop replaced my secondary air pump, and it wasnt needed, the issue was bad connections on the RCM board. do a search for "mystery no start" and you will see quick, easy, correct fix for maybe the second most common issue with the crossfire.
