Default Re: Occasional Slow Acceleration

X100 on the IC pump. If it went like stink then went like a geo metro running on 2 cylinders, IC pump died. Easy, but annoying fix.

As for the install.....the instructions on here are great! The big difference in the stock pump and the johnson pump is the diameter of the pump itself. It is much smaller and won't fit the stock bracket propertly. It is recommended to use a bicycle tire innertube, but I found a regular sized, foam Kooze trimmed down to the proper length and wrapped around the pump works great!

For the Kooze, pull the bottom off of it and split it, so you can lay it flat. Now wrap it around the new Johnson pump and trim the overlap excess. Once the excess is trimmed, wrapp your new and awesome pump and stick it in the stock bracket, install the pump, clamp the two hoses down tight, top off the coolant - remembering to get the bubbles out and then go run the hell out of your new car! I promise it won't run like a geo metro after the install - just watch out for the po-po's in your area. 0-jail in about 5 seconds flat.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
