I have a leak in my water pump out the seep hole on top so I guess the bearing is shot in the pump. I just bought the car and it's obvious they decided to trade it in rather than put a new water pump on or keep putting water in it every night since it drains the overflow in about 80 miles.

This looks like a gravy job to me, I see no reason not to just take an hour or two and swap the pump. For those who have done it, is there anything I need to know or is it just unbolt, scrape, reapply?

it is very easy on these cars. Nothing difficult at all

Many thanks. Now onto figuring out why the engine misses when over 50% throttle, worse when warm. When I get on it a little you can feel it misfiring by the lack of change in power over half throttle and the vibration.

Yea water pump is real easy, might be a pain to pull off tho. Check your temp sensors(have 2 right?)

I was having starting issues, slight misfire,idling like crap and would bog every time i tapped the gas. turned out that autozone sold me 2 temp switches and was leaning my car out really bad. fixed the sensors and runs great now. Part numbers were su284 and tu207 i believe. $20 for both and wouldnt hurt to try.

first of all, one is the ECT, which does play a small role with fuel delivery..but not enough to make the car run like complete ***.. and the 2nd sensor is for the gauge
