I installed the new IC pump from NeedsWings and the car is doing the same thing. I can turn the car off and start it back and it it runs Great for a minute and then goes into limp mode. I installed the pump refilled the fluid lost and that was it. Am I missing something here? I feel like the pump is not even running. I checked fuse 13 as well and it's good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Nevermind. Clamped off the return hose just before the T with a pair of vise grips and let it idle for 20 minutes. All is good! Runs like a rabid ape in Africa chasing a banana truck. So happy with this car! I swear it's just as fast as my dad's stock 392 SRT Challenger.

 

I found that I take the small bleeder hose and run it into a 1qrt drink bottle - and squeeze the hose as you mentioned, you can fill the bottle numerous times and simply put it back into your coolant tank.

 

Faster by my experience.........(RIP 392 Yellow Jacket)

 

yes - but with the bottle I noticed it coughed and spluttered few a bottle or 3 before settling down.
Also you can gauge the number of micro bubbles floating around - quite amazing. I noticed this in my little pump test rig as well.
I'm only running the 2GPM Lightning pump ATM in the car, but have a 5GPM Pierburg CWA50 under test in the rig..

PS - I'm not sure if its an SRT6 thing, but the IC pump on my SLK32 wasn't working for months and I noted IAT's of 80+C (180F) in my logs and my SC (and car) just kept cranking. Mind you I only register 5-5.5 sec. 0-62's but no hick ups lumps or bumps in performance.
I have a new pump now.

 

Are you saying the crossfire is faster than the srt392? I need to line up beside my dad and see.

 

I can testify first hand on SEVERAL occasions that the srt6 is faster than any srt8

 

IF you have an SRT6, yes, it is faster....

 

I'm having the same problem; new pump, double flush and filled.....
Could it be a I/C priming issue? What's the best way to be sure the I/C is full? (primed)
Didn't quite understand the quart bottle trick on a previous post; please advise.

 

see if the pictures help

PS - my install is probably not as pretty as others as I cut the old connector off to connect the new pump (with pigtails).
However this allowed me to hot wire the pump using the battery as shown.
If you have a neater solution with OEM plugs, I'm not sure how you can hot wire the pump.

 

The vice grips did the trick for me. I let the car idle for 15 minutes and it started working like a charm.
