Smog pump

Hello. Within the last couple no the I've replaced the smog pump 4 times now. All vapex brand reman. Just put one on today and it's already ticking. I cannot figure out how air flow would wreck the fan so fast. Any one have any idea what in the world is going on with it? The last pump threw a code and now I think I need to replace the o2 sensor again.

Since you appear to be in Cali, I wont suggest you simply remove the system and replace it with an idler pulley.

Sounds like junk remans honistly, I would look for new, or a different reman brand. Hopefully these failures have been covered under a lifetime warranty.
