The only way I've seen a smog pump go bad is that the bearing lock up.

Mine is squeaking and its driving me nuts, i think i have another one laying around. i took the other one off cause it felt like it wasn't doing anything but now i don't care if it works or not i doubt it really effects smog.

But does help with smog it pump extra oxygen in to cat to help burn the fuel on start ups when emissions are at highest.

Nope on a mustang you have two pre cats then the down stream for the air pump then two more cats. An it will always before the cats.

Really? I failed my smog 3 years ago because I forgot to hook up the smog pump to the h-pipe which would be the same thing as the smog pump not there and my car was 100% stock.

Maybe they looked under your car and saw it not connected so it failed the visual?

Didn't fail visual, my readings were like almost 2x too high.
