electric wp woes
electric wp woes
well the csi crapped out on me. stuck on side of road,waiting 1/2 hour then drive a mile repeat 8 times. man it is starting to look like that advice of not getting an electric waterpump was right.
.when car was in the on position could not hear it at all. oh boy

oh yea i have driven the car like maybe 10 times with the electric wp on.
.sometimes the temp. would really climb i would shut it down wait 2 minutes put on on position wp would come on drive fine for an hour. but today not a sound from the waterpump once the temp climbed

You obviously got a bum pump. I had a issue with a loose slip fit connection with my meziere in the beginning, but once I took it apart and soldered the input wires in place, not a problem since 2+ years and 35k miles later.

I've had my CSI in for the last year and 3-4K miles and never had a problem with the pump itself. I did accidently break the fuse holder once while working on the motor and didnt notice it, took the car out and the temp shot up to the red pretty quick. Shut it down and replaced the fuse and all was fine. Other than that incident I never had any problems with it, it cools just as well if not better than the stock wp.
People can trash talk the CSI wp all they want but what really matters is that my pump has opporated absolutely flawless since I installed it over 10k miles ago. Sometime this summer I will probably purchase a new one just to have a spare around because just like the mechanical pumps, it will die eventually... only difference is I can replace my pump in under 20 minutes with the only tool necessary being a single small wrench.
I assume you checked the fuses? How do you have it wired. I have mine wired through a relay. If your sure there is power to the pump with the key on, try wiggiling the wire where it goes into the pump and see if it comes on.
