thanks for you help btw

i took the water pump off, checked the impeller, its fine. Im going to bled the system again and make sure i have a steady stream of coolant coming from the bleeder valve. I mean the car can run without the auxillary pump, right? The whole design of the coolant system is a bag of sh*t in...

ok guys im STILL fighting this problem and am on the verge of taking it to the dealership....its really pissing me off.... I ordered brushes for the auxillary coolant pump and just as if my luck couldnt get any worse at this point they sent me one brush the wrong size so i got one brush...

Damn Ive done installed the same aftermarket bottle again. You think if I change the cap she might hold up?

after doing a little research i ordered brushes to rebuild mine. i took my pump apart and discovered my the motor's brushes were in dire need of replacing. I'm just waiting on my brushes now. I'm still not so sure as to why the car overheated in the first place. I replaced the damaged bottle...

havnt removed the dccv yet...i removed the pump, which is bad, but have yet to find a new one...anyone know where i can get one from?

DCCV=dual coolant control valve? is there a way to check its operation after i remove it from the car? I removed the boost pump and tested it with a 12 volt source, and it wouldnt come on unless i tapped on it, so i know its bad but i figured i would check the valve for operation . is this...

I replaced the bottle and cap. Checked the water pump and it was fine. I pulled the coolant boost pump and applied power to it and nothing...gave it a tap with a hammer and it came on the turned off...i believe this may have been the issue and blocking coolant flow.

It comes to a hard stop, (with the new cap) but a slight turn more and the cap pops off. The cap that came with the aftermarket bottle used to "click" into place kinda of like certain gas caps on certain model cars.

I have noticed that the cap doesnt have must resistance when i screw it down on the bottle. is it suppose to click when fully tightened?

hydrualic cooling fan i fixed about 3 months ago, the flow sensor on the pump needed to be replaced.

I replaced the cap, and thermostat, and tried bleeding the system, still the same thing. damn degas bottle is less than six months old. wouldnt a quick check to see if the system is under pressure by just barely breaking the cap loose? and hear a 'hissing" sound?

Hello everyone, I have a 2000 Lincoln Ls that i purchased about 6 months ago. I bought it from a coworker of mine. He originally bought the car with a bad engine due to timing chain tensioner failure. He replaced the engine with one from a local salvage yard out of a 2002 lincoln ls with...
