In what way can my brakes effect idle?

The purpose of sending the air to the exhaust is to make sure your cats are hot enough to work. Without that added air, the cats won't work properly, and they will start to fuse together internally, clogging your exhaust. If you have removed your cats, or intend to, then this won't be an issue. If you are keeping cats in your exhaust, though, then you need to determine what the cause of the problem was, and repair it correctly.

Good luck either way.

Well...I don't have Cats at the moment so that isn't an issue I guess...I had someone tell me that disconnecting the TAD solenoid from the hoses can effect the combustion process in the heads?Is this true?And something to worry about?

Don't people delete thier emissions stuff all the time and just block off the old connections?That's whyI figured that there wouldn't be any negative effects other than being able to pass emissions...

I still plan on replacing the TAD as soon as I can because I plan on getting a catted mid-pipe later on..and I just like to tie up loose ends..BUT!Am I hurting anything in the meantime till I get a new TAD?(besides the environment..)

Thanks for your advice man-Milt

PS...day 2 and no idle problem..Out of curiousity,I re-connected the hoses to the TAD and sure enough,it started dipping the idle again...Pulled them off the diverter and capped them...steady as a rock again..
