Coolant is dripping from my intercooler pump. I'm not really sure if the pump is not running at all, or a seal is just broken. When I drive it, the temps are normal. If I have to replace the pump, does Saleen use their own pumps, or will the Bosch pump used on cobras and lightning work fine?

BTW the car is a 2001 Saleen s281sc

Why can't you tell if the pump is running? How is it wired? Mine is wired to a key-on source, and I can easily hear it running if I turn the key on.

To actually answer your question, the Bosch pump should work fine; that's what I'm running. Does the Saleen pump use the EV1-style fuel injector electrical connector? If so, it'll work fine. If not, you'll need to switch connectors, which is no big deal.

The intercooler pump is working. I just tested it this morning. I figured I could save some money if I can just fix the leak and throw the pump back on there.

I ended up buying the bosch pump for 100 dollars on ebay, just for the peace of mind.

How do I replace the intercooler pump? The one that is already on the car has metal hose fittings and the bosch one does not. Instead the bosch one uses clamps.

EDIT: I am returning the bosch pump. The one on my stang is an Oberdorfer. I can just buy the Repair kit which comes with all the gaskets and seal, since the motor in intact.

I'm glad you were able to figure out the problem. Good call on returning the Bosch pump, as well. :SNSign:
