The longer this continues. The more I like my avatar.
Are you talking about the engine compartment blower motor, or the aux air pump? I'm just guessing that you might be confusing the two. The engine compartment air blower shouldn't have any effect on the engine performance. The engine compartment blower motor is located all the way on the passenger (right) side of the car, and pulls air from the scoop on the right side of the car. The Aux Air pump is connected to the engine via a hose that resembles an 'S' and looks like a radiator hose.
