Default Re: Replaced IC pump, car still sluggish!?!

What the heck is going on with the car? I was almost positive that the IC pump replacement would have fixed it, but it didn't.

I remember reading something about replacing the air temp sensor and the computer module, something along those lines.

I need some help here!
You may well have air in the pump as a result of the install. That could result in the effect you are encountering. The system needs to be 'burped'. Probably worth a try.
