When my g/f's car started acting really wierd (CEL, fluid lights, no hot air), I figured that the water pump went. I checked in the forum, and the symptoms seem to fit the disease. So I just replaced the pump, with very few problems. All I noticed was that the impeller was not there! It must have be obliterated when she drove over here (she doesn't know much about cars, probably didn't think too much was wrong). In any case, now the pump works, there are no visible leaks, the CEL went off, and it blows hot air.. the only problem is that the thermostat is all the way up to the hottest setting (even before I turn on the engine) and the coolant light is on. Any ideas what this might be? My theory is that she burned her temp sensor. Could it just be a computer problem that might go away soon? Thanks for all the help.
