Default RE: THERMACTOR AIR SYSTEM!!!PLEASE HELP!!!

Its a solenoid thats controlled by the EEC-IV computer and makes vacuum to the Air Bypass/Air Control Valve. that lets air flow through the secondary air injection system. With no vacuum the air from the air pump is just released outside. this turns the secondary air injection system on or off. the secondary air injection system adds air to the cats to improve the burning of NOx gases. and that reduces emissions. It's not used on the newer stangs anymore I dont think, and if yours is carbed there should be hoses that run under your carb and then back down to the solenoids.... You might want to buy a manual for your year of stang and itll show diagrams.....

Im sorry Im not of more help
