Basically been aware of a power drain a couple of minutes after cold starting. Long after the SAI pump has done is thing. When I watch out for it I always hear what sounds like a fan kicking in for a mo...?
Went to the trouble this morning of firing it up and standing over the engine for a minute or two and the seems the SAI pump is coming back on again for about 15 seconds. Is this normal, as in motion it noticeably zaps a bit of power from the engine?
-
Mine does the same, start up again that is, but I cant say I have ever noticed it drain any power from the engine
-
Not just me then! What's the second shot all about?
Not drain in a big way, but if it kicks in when I pull out a junction I feel the car sort of bog down briefly...

The same amount as if you have turned the air con on?
