so i been having little heating issues so i noticed that the coolant isnt flowing threw the neck by the supercharger.so i researched what i could find and jumped the fuse to see if i hear it turn on and when i did nothing happened.so i went and hit it with a hammer and it started to make like a spinning noise for over 10 seconds and then it would stop.

so how can i tell for sure if its not working

take the cap off ur filler neck, puor coolant in, have someone start the car, and see if the coolant jumps out at you lol, or if the coolant moves at all, but have the cap off the whole time

Go under the car and smack the IC pump with a hammer and check if it's wired properly (I guess some of them were wired wrong from the factory). It works as a temporary fix. OTTP sells new ones.

Edit : Just re-read thread and it says you smacked it already. Make sure its wired up right though.

eh. I'll just hit it again.. they act like your engine will blow up, but you will just have limited boost, then ill change it.

does it mess with coolant temps at all?

GM COBALT SC SS

has nothing to do with coolant temps. if anyone needs one, i have a brand new ic pump from ottp still in the box. make an offer if interested

hmm cause mine bounce around between 210-174 its weird


and what happens when this goes out

GM COBALT SC SS

thats normal man. you need to be worried if they get up around 220 or higher and stay there. theyll stay low if you are moving because of the increased air flow

like when i got the car is stayed at 175 sitting in traffic or after a couple pulls it never moved for months stayed at that then randomly it got to 245 and just goes up and down

bad thermostat? which has no relation to your IC pump.

iTrader: (3)

i just replaced that like 1000 miles ago imma buy a sensor maybe its bad idk


so what does the ic pump do something about boost someone said??

ecot3c inside

iTrader: (11)

if your iats are too high it will -10% boost (or w.e) possibly timing too.
if you turn the key too on with the engine off after you drove it for a bit, you should here a high pitch whine and coolant bubbling at the neck

nopeeee haha mine dont do ****

ssblackstealth

yea the coolant temp on ur dash is for the engine
the ic pump cools the sc system, not your engine
the coolant in the ball shaped container to the right of the engine bay is what cools your engine...
so if your sc system gets too hot then your boost will fall and you will have a constant herat soak...

i see yeah its only 110 and would take me like 20 min to install so

after i get my custom 3 inch intake done ill **** with this lol

ssblackstealth

iTrader: (8)

yea its not bad, but without it you wont have any power lol
my buddy had a dead ic pump at the dyno once and with 2.85 pully, h/e, 60s, ect... he put down 194hp lmao so dont forget about it!!
