Thread: Need a bit of advice

So me and my friend changed my water pump today because the car has been leaking coolant and all the coolant elbows are still good. After replacing it and putting everything back together for some reason the electronic boost gauge in the driver info part don't work anymore. Anybody know why it could of went out?

What do you mean it doesn't work? Is it not there or just doesn't move. My guess is that you knocked the vacuum lune loose under the snout of the supercharger if it's just not moving.

It still pops up but it doesn't show how much boost. Something went wrong because now the car is misfiring

I'll have to take another look tomorrow.. I'm a noob at these cars I just got my gtp so I'll catch on eventually lol

Did you remove any of the plug wires when you changed the water pump? If so, check your firing order. These cars will still run even if 2 or more cylinders are wired wrong and often only show a misfire when you are driving it. I reversed 2 of mine once and it idled just fine with no CEL, then I drove it... Misfire city.

I appreciate the help. I'll take a better look when I get off work

It ended up just being the vacuum line under the super charger. Car is running good now thanks for the help!

What kind of oil would you guys recommend to use on these cars?

Like motor oil? Motor oil is motor oil. Supercharger oil? Pick up some at the stealership.
