New IC Pump NEED HELP!
I just got a new ic pump and installed it but my iat2 temps are still running over 100. I've checked all my tubes and everythings connected right . I'm stumped can anyone shed any light on the subject

After I put the pump on I filled the neck then turned the car on and added more coolant and more it jus kept cycling through so I took it for a ride like 5-10 min to see what the temps are and they were over 100 and right around 114 for cruising what else should I do?

its going to take alittle to bleed the system. Drive it around a little and check everytime u shut the car off. Add as needed. Im sure there r still some air pockets in the coolant system.

It just has to run for a bit to circulate all the coolant. Gravity alone cant quite fill the entire system 100% even with either the option b or the stock crappy t neck filler being the highest points in the system. As the pump runs the level will appear to go down, just add more coolant as necessary

if ur cruising and letting off the gas the iat2 will go up since there's not a lot of air going in and cooling the s/c...Try crusing and keep on the gas and monitor ur iat2's if its not within 15-25 * apart from ur ambient temps, check ur intercooler pump's cables polarity, some cars were wired wrong from factory and the pump wont work properly. My IC pump wiring was revesed + going - and vice versa, I switched the up and problem was solved. You can use a voltage tester on the plug it self. Check those couple of things out and report back.
