A failed air injection pump is more than a noisy annoyance. Bad pumps store a fault code and turn on your check engine light, a sure way to fail your local emissions test. Dying pumps don't go quietly. As they fail, they make a loud buzzing noise, audible shortly after a cold engine start up; continuing for a minute or so after that. Our secondary air pump kits contain a new pump, control valves, and hoses so you can put your air injection system back to normal, eliminate all that racket, and turn off that pesky dash light.

You won't see this bodyguard protecting your undercarriage and engine from damage, but you'll know it's doing its work.

Maintaining adequate tension on the timing chain is its most basic purpose, keeping the correct level of slack in the chain to best balance noise levels and friction reduction.

Interior lighting kits from Ziza are custom assembled for your make and model, then tested repeatedly with hand-picked LED arrays to assure uniform appearance. Each kit has its own detailed photo tutorial to make light work of your installation.
