IC Pump Shot?

[lgonz051]

So me and my buddy jumped the relay right now and no sound from the pump, we tapped the pump a couple of times with the hammer and it started going but barely. I am guessing there is just a ton of crud build up down there and hopefully we will clean it and it will be back to normal. At least my low coolant level was not because a crack in my intercooler!

IAT1's were around 96F and IAT2's were 120-126F while driving with ECT's around 200F-204F with the pump barely running.
car does have 78k miles

keep an eye on it and if it stops again just replace it, only 80 bucks to replace it.

try this. It worked good for me for a while after this: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/tech-231/702347-intercooler-pump-cleaning-how.html but I ended up having to replace the carbon brushes inside the motor after awhile. I found a write up on how to replace the brushes on a lightning forum.
