    Your saying it no longer runs at shutdown?
    Does it still run on a cold start?

    I would expect it to throw a code and CEL if the pump wasn't working, did you check that the pump is still plugged in?

    Is it warm where you are? I think ambient temp comes into play ..

    Keep driving. There are only certain conditions when the smog pump runs and wont run (warmed up, just started, above\below a specific ambient temp etc wont re-run the pump). You are fine, just make sure to do the uni filter mod and pull the stock foam piece (keep stock parts tho)
