I/C pump help - can't search

[Bockfipher]

It figures the search would be down when I really need it.

Anyway, my I/C pump is not flowing. No motion in the reservoir, IAT2's are 110* higher. Can somebody please give me the quick rundown on how to check the pump (fuse, jumping, etc)?

Thanks.

right beside the strut tower on the passenger side there is a little black box (in between air intake tube and the passenger fender) Open the black box and pull the relay. you will need to run a wire from the outside slot (nearest fender) to the inside slot (nearest engine). This should jump the intercooler pump. More than likely your pump has gone out.

Thanks, Silverboost. I jumped it and got nothing, so I assume it has kicked the bucket.

Is this what I'm looking for or is there a better option?

did you check the 10 amp fuse first?

 

[Bockfipher]

Would that be the "charge air cooler pump relay?"

 

[Bockfipher]

Yes, the 10 amp fuse is good.

On a side note, I have noticed my IAT2's at 5-10 degrees higher than usual recently, meaning they have been that much more than the usual 48-52 degree difference in IAT1's. Maybe that was a sign that the pump was failing?

 

[Bockfipher]

If I replace the pump, it is plug-and-play, right? I shouldn't need a new pigtail or wiring, correct?

While your waiting on a new pump, with the relay jumped, just go under the car and tap on it with the back of a large screwdriver or something. More than likely it will start working again for awhile. Mine stopped working a week ago and since I tapped on it, it's been working since. But I have a new one on the way because its just a matter of time before it finally goes. Good luck :beer:

Yea I caught my pump stopping several times over last summer. Hitting it always started it, only to stop short time later. Picked up a Meziere over the winter for my replacement.

 

[Bockfipher]

Yeah, I tried knocking it too and I got nothing.

Yea, pump is probably dead. I ordered my replacement off ebay, it was $89 shipped. I hope to install it this weekend. :-D

could it have just been a air lock? mine has done that several times. just pulled off the upper res hose and blew in it and it popped the air pocket threw... but then again i could hear my pump tryin to run but nothing moving in the res. i dunno... just an idea.

 

[Bockfipher]

I thought about the possibility of an air lock as well, but I never could get the pump running. Got a new one on the way. Hopefully I can get another 40k out of this one.
