Thanks! I will look into this.
I am getting two codes: P1419 (split air #2 circuit malfunction) and p0491 (secondary air injection system bank #1 malfunction- insufficient flow)
The pump I started with in the car appears to be good, but it is possible it is drawing too much current (?) It definitely runs and blows air. It is loud, but it was always loud (sounds like a jet engine taking off). I measured the current with a bench power supply, it was something like 26 amps at 13VDC. I didn't check the current draw of the replacement pump.
I will say that I stopped hearing that noise this summer, but I thought the car didn't run the secondary air pump when starting at higher ambient temperatures and so this was normal (?)
The new pump was from RockAuto, but I think it will be a hassle to return/exchange. It was a cheaper make:
