Just wondering - woud be foolish of me to assume its running when/if there are no warning signs until you really make a demand on it and go...oh....its not pumping..!
yes sir, that is the sign......it's not pumping... LOL...
Here goes...there is a sensor that measures temp. If the pump fails the sensor will not let the s/c kick on due to heat build up from the pump not pumping enough coolant So, when you first start out, the car is cool, everything is perfoming just fine. Once the temps come up, and the pump isn't pumping enough, the sensor will shut down the s/c. If you are on it, it will nose dive because the boost is lost. Temps come down, s/c kicks back on, and away you go. Now imagine this happening every 10 seconds or so, while you are WOT... She is a bucking a horse. First on, then off...until you quit and let it cool down...It will run, but not have the power....
There will be no codes thrown, or any real warning...just these symptoms..
