a fuel filter made a big difference huh? i guess i should do it also, could it help with an idle problem at all maybe too?

when you change that water pump i would change the thermostat also, because if its sticking and you change the water pump it will just blow the seals on the new one if thats what caused the first one to start leaking. i dont trust autozones remanufactured crap either. you get lifetime warranty but who the hell wants to change that part once or more a year. just buy a brand new one and be done with it for a while.

if you changed the sensor i would check the harness and wires going to it for grounding problems or bad spots and or loose connections
