Wassup cb7tuners? Ive been having a few probs with my car lately and 1 is a blown head gasket... All I need to know is how do I diagnose a bad water pump so I dont need to take it apart to check if its good or not?

A common symptom of a failing/failed water pump is over heating at idle, and then cooling down after acceleration. Have you fixed the head gasket yet?Originally posted by jdmsnoopy View PostOriginally posted by Mishakol129 -
Havent fixed it yet... I just found out.pulled the oil cap off and I see just a little bit of mud build up under it and a little bit of white smoke when I start it up. It doesnt overheat, it stays at normal temp but im loosing some coolant... Thats what confuses me a littleComment

How are you confused? Your head gasket is leaving coolant into the crank case, and your burning it. Seems pretty basic. Change your head gasket.Originally posted by jdmsnoopy View PostOriginally posted by Mishakol129Comment

My bad, I didnt explain my confusion... The water pump should put preassure into the the engine if the gaskets blown... So wouldnt the my missfire if theres more water preassure going through the leak?Comment

Oh I forgot to mention... It misfires bad when I start the car, then after 5 seconds it idles fineComment

You're misfiring because your head gasket is blown and leaking antifreeze into the cylinders.Originally posted by jdmsnoopy View PostOriginally posted by Mishakol129Comment

If the head is coming off for head gasket replacement, it is good idea to replace water pump with new or reman at the same time along with timing belt.

Also check for water coming from the bottom of the timing cover, that is one of the main signs of a bad pump. It leaks through the weep hole.Comment

If you're pulling the head to replace the head gasket, change the timing belt and water pump. If it's wasn't bad to start with, it is good insurance while you have 3/4 of the labor done already. Why put it all back together so you can take it apart again when the water pump DOES need to be replaced?Originally posted by Junior Smurff
