I have done a search for my problem and to no avail.........
so here goes.... I replaced the water pump, 4cyl gas no A/C, with the one from the local parts store. Things were good for a total of 65 miles........
the brand new water pump blew out all over the place as I was pulling in to the parking lot at home. it turns out that the "guy" at the parts store had ordered in the wrong water pump, it was a reverse flow...................
OK, so now I spend another day tracking down and installing the new pump and that is when my troubles started. I have tested the thermostat and it works fine, and the new pump is circulating the fluid with no problems. I have no heat and my temp guage almost hits the RED....... I am thinking that when the reverse flow pump was running, that it may have some how damaged the heater valve in the system. does any one have any thoughts or other suggestions? any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
