Hey guys, which pump is it goes bad and needs to be changed. The small pitty pump behind the passenger side headlight or the one down by the h/e? I have changed the one behind the headlight, and I did not notice any big differences. Last night I hard wired the pump to a red wire behind the fuse box, which allows the pump to run when you put the ignition key in the second step. I heard some clicking behind the engine after I did this, sounding like relays or what not. I ran the car and it felt worse than when it wasnt hard wired. Has this happened to ayone or did I do something wrong?

 

down by the he...

remove your pass tire and the wheel well and you will see it.

Replace it with the johnson cm30

 

It's the one near the H/E. The other one is a coolant pump for the radiator.

 

Damn! ok. So I changed the wrong one. So that small one behind the headlight should not be touched? What am I causing to happen by changing it? Could that be why my engine is running so hot?

 

Yes, a bad I/C pump will cause IATS to be sky high, ecu pulls major timing and your blower shuts down.

I recomend a meziere pump with 3/4 barb fittings.

 

I responded to your other thread; it sounded to me like you changed the wrong one. Do yourself a favor and go to Sears or wherever and get a couple hose clamping pliers, it makes the job super super easy.

 

Yes, I sure did. im such a dumbass. I already have a Johnson. Thanks guys. This explains a lot. I still dont understand why the engine is running so hot tho. Maybe its time for thermostat and water pump replace. Is getting a 180 degree thermostat good?
