1990 Ford Bronco 4.9L Thermactor Air Pump & Check Valve Location Diagram
Secondary air schematic with color-highlighted check valves, combination air control valve and air pump routing.
This document is a Ford factory-style schematic illustration (figure ID A13526-A) showing the secondary air injection (Thermactor) system components on an inline six-cylinder EFI engine, consistent with the 4.9L engine in a 1990 Ford Bronco as claimed by the uploader. The line drawing depicts the engine from a three-quarter view with the intake manifold, throttle body, and accessory drive visible. Key emissions components are highlighted in red: the belt-driven air pump mounted low at the front of the engine, the combination air control valve mounted near the rear/side of the engine, and two check valves — one on a hose routed along the front/left of the engine and one at the upper right near the exhaust manifold connection. Air routing hoses are shaded in gray to show how pumped air travels from the air pump through the combination air control valve and check valves to the exhaust system. An arrow labeled 'FRONT OF ENGINE' establishes orientation. A reader can learn the physical locations of the air pump, combination air control valve, and both check valves, and how the secondary air hoses are routed between them, which is useful for diagnosing or replacing Thermactor/smog pump system components.

Frequently asked questions
- Where is the air pump located on this engine?
- The schematic shows the air pump (highlighted in red) mounted low toward the front of the engine, below the intake manifold, with 'FRONT OF ENGINE' indicated by an arrow for orientation.
- How many check valves are shown in this secondary air system diagram?
- Two check valves are labeled: one on a hose at the left/front of the engine and another at the upper right of the engine near the hose connection at the back.
- What valve controls the air from the air pump in this diagram?
- The diagram labels a 'COMBINATION AIR CONTROL VALVE,' shown in red, connected by hoses between the air pump and the check valves.
- What is the figure or reference number on this schematic?
- The drawing carries the reference number A13526-A in the lower right corner.
