2000 svt heating up

[salvadorr90]

Hello, i searched for an answer but didn't find it so I'm posting my problem, ok yesterday it snowed here in Hampton ga, well the car was running good so today in the morning I turned on the car and got on the road then about 30 mins later car heated up I mean all the way to hot, I got home and I sprayed water on the radiator the reservor was at max. I turned it back on and did the same thing after I drove around the block. When I turn the car off and open the hood I hear water boiling around where the water pump is, also the water reservor has 2 hoses going out and the top one gets hot, bottom one is cool.
What can it be??????????

Water pump is most likely toast....along with the engine if you aren't lucky

Do NOT drive that car until you remove the old water pump, flush the pieces out of the system and install a new pump & thermostat.

If you have slagged your engine, what color is that car? I may buy it from you.

Its pretty easy, remove the airbox and battery...that should give you plenty of room. I have had to replace 2, both in parking lots pretty far fom home.

Hey I'm so happy I took the cover off and the water pump belt was messed up so I went to autozone and bought it, I replaced it and it seems to be perfect again.
Thanks to everybody

Need to check (change) the water pump. Chances are the water pump belt messed up because the water pump wasn't turning properly.

Is there any way to check if the water pump is working right???

Remove belt, check if the water pump will turn freely.

Remove and reinstall new pump is the best thing to do.
