So man are you seeing extremely high IAT2 temps too?
Cause Im starting to wonder if it is the pump with mine and not the leak.. Maybe I was just losing coolant due to it not pumping, and when I filled it up When driving it just spilled out the overflow.. Im gonna go into Saturn tomorrow and ask them to check the pump...

F%^ SATURN...I took my car to get that shit fixed and wasnt under warranty but since this was totally their fault I figured they would help....They wouldnt even diagnose it for free when i was 100% sure it wasnt working. But like it shows in the video my pump didnt work after i switched the wires cuz it was faulty....You just got to apply light pressure to fire it on and moderate pressure and that thing really hmm's. I want to get a new pump when i get the money but for now the jerry rigged bracket applying pressure will do...I dont have interceptors so im not sure about my temps...but i did run my car for 42,000 with the wires backwards so.....I cant tell much of a difference with no gauge but i can definately see the liquid flowing good.....IT used to be pretty stagnant.

And if u are taking it to riverside the service manager said he had never even heard of that tsb and has never ordered a replacement pump so i wouldnt expect much help from there....I know someone on here got theirs done at temecula so i would suggest going there

If you ask them to check the pump all they will do is hook up the tech2 and made sure power is going to it. You will need to ask them to test the flow of the pump. Just because power is going to it doesn't mean jack.

Testing the flow of the pump will consist of opening the reservoir cap and saying "Yep, it's flowing."

Your best bet is to check it vs. a new unit on the lot. Ask them if you can pull up to a new one just to see if yours is working fine.

On the other hand, when you performed a TSB on your own you screwed yourself. They don't have to cover the part anymore, plus you are out of warranty unless you have an extended one. Good luck, you may need it on this one.

Also, man use a light. I can't see anything on the video.

That was with a friend pointing a spotlight on me...lol...i just filmed it with my digital camera and didnt mess with any settings on it. But if you turn up the volume loud so you can hear the pump turning off and on and see my finger pressing and releasing pressure on the bottom of the pump you will see what my problem was.....
