Default overheating problem

I'm having overheating problems i loss power and the supercharger shuts down after it heats up. i'm idling fine at around 700 starting when it starts to over heat it's idling at about 650-600. I already changed the temp gauge sensor or what ever and im about to change the water pump. dose any body have any ideas of what it could be? thanks

Try the super charger cooling pump, it tends to gunk up the veins of the pump and then no cooling takes place. temp will rise and super charger will not come online

It is you IC pump. Replace it with a Johnson pump, and life will be good. Instructions can be found here. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...nson-pump.html

Yea thanks for the input I already replace my i/c pump when I first bought the car a year ago but it could have gone bad again. I already ordered the water pump so I'm gonna try that first them I'll replace the I/c pump again thanks.

Yea the I/c pump? That's what I thought it might be but I already replaced it with a Johnson I/c pump a year ago could have gone bad I guess. Thanks for the input.
