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

The second thing I noticed is that when I go WOT, and the kickdown button is engauged, thats when the car falls on it's face and it starts doing the sluggish acceleration thing and you have to put the gas half down to get the car to move from a stop.

Any other ideas?

I'm thinking it could be the SC clutch and something electrically wrong.
Are you sure your checking the right pump? There are 2 pumps one of them is for the heater, which is below the passenger side headlight that looks like a intercooler pump. The intercooler pump is down lower near the bottom corner of the radiator.
