HI,

Most times, this is due to a faulty A.I.R. pump itself, located at left front lower engine compartment:

I would check it for broken wiring at the harness to it, as well as broken vacuum lines and repair as needed. If ok, pump is likely bad, but can only be verified by testing with a scan tool.

Will this affect my gas mileage, and how expensive is this to repair?

Hi,

yes, this will cause a slight decrease in mileage.

Cost is only 1/2 hour labor to replace, but the pump is around $225-250 for the part

Can you tell me what part to ask for, and would this make my car run a little rough?

Hi,

Ok, the part is called A.I.R. Pump.

As this does affect the air volume getting to the mass airflow sensor, and then to engine, this can cause some driveability symptoms such as rough running, and even hesitation in engine at times
