Engine check light on; diagnostic ran - reported bad air pump which was replaced. Within days light came back on. Diagnostic ran again; same code=bad air pump. Mechanic said the pump is a bad design. The pump allows water to get into pump which then gets into the engine causing damage and the light to come on. $500 later - no resolution; same problem.

Engin echeck engine light came on, and the dealer said the air pump had failed. Even though my car is technically out of the 3 year warranty period by a few months, it has not reached 36,000 miles yet (3 yrs/36,000 mile warranty). I am trying to find out if there are reported problems with the air pump on the 1996 cutlass.
