the indy shop i went to previously is closed this week so no diagnostics now.

today was HELL. i couldn't make it to work. Almost got towed, glad was close to highway exit, managed to make it to a mall. even after letting it cooldown for 15 mins, the engine only cooled down to 95c(203 f). I try to start it again, the temperature would slowly creep up to near 120c(248f) which is when the car goes on limp mode. the pump may be completely dead now since it's just the radiator fan running full speed.

i'll have the part warrantied/exchanged, but the problem is i need another pump in the meantime. my thought is to order another water pump and get it fixed and have the exchanged one as spare..

should i skip the t-stat this time? not even 1 year old..
