So I was chilling with my buddy at a meet and he owns an ion. He said for the redlines a lot of their ic pump wiring was backwards leading them
To fail easily. I just replaced my ic pump and was wondering if GM might have switched the wiring on my 05 ss. I wanted
Ask before I lifted my car

 

that was not a problem n the cobalts

 

So only for the redlines?

 

Think it was only the 04 redlines

 

Okay I knew it was 04 and some 05 my car is pretty low so I wanted to make sure before I had to get under there.

 

Why was this a problem with the 04-05 redlines and not the 05 cobalt ss??

 

Redlines were built first.

 

Yup, 2004 Redlines only. Reversed the wires.

 

Thank god I wasn't goin to replace another pump because of damn GM

 

Okay is the flow suppose to be left to right? I put i straw in and it pulled to the right (toward the driver side)

 

im pretty sure mine doesnt flow...

 

The ic pump should give you flow? I want to know if my flow is the correct direction

 

I meant I think mine doesnt work. but im sure left to right is correct

 

Well that's not good. I just need to know what way it flows I believe mine might be backwards (left to right)

 

it comes in the pump through the top and out the drivers side of the pump IF i recall correctly

 

So I put in a screw driver and the top of it pulled towards the passenger side

 

That means I don't have to check mine either. I had heard some were backwards, but didn't know it was not the Cobalts. I had my IC pump fail a couple years ago. Replaced it with a ZZP one. Worked fine ever since.

 

Yeah I replaced mine as well but mine flows left to right which is wrong

 

When I take the fill cap off, and run my car. It's pretty obvious, just watching it I can see it flowing good.

 

But if it flows in reverse it decreases a lot of thkngs
