    Default Finally! After all summer!

    Finally, after all summer, I finished my grand prix. Water pump replaces, alternator replaces, new belt, new spark plugs etc. Just need replace headlights, etc and she's done! Woot! I'm so happy Lol! Oh and replace the front left tire. I also have a question, When i replaced the water pump, It had nice good pack of white smoke for a good while, after 2 days, it has vanished. I'm not to worried, but also worried at the same time.

    Hrmmm... odd. I have replaced the pump and several things on mine and never had it smoke after except when oil spilt onto the manifolds. Burn off smoked for a little while.

    Was it smoking out the exhaust or off the motor itself?

    Does it drive funny or make any noises?

    Do you have a CEL (Check Engine Light) on?

    If your answers are along the lines of "motor but it doesn't do it anymore", "no its quiet", and "no lights on at all"... I wouldn't worry either.

    With decent maintenance the motors are usually very solid.

    I can only think of 2 things. You did something horribly HORRIBLY wrong, and that's hard to do on a simple W/P replacement... Or you didn't get a good seal and its leaking out and the coolant is smoking.

    Does it smell like coolant or something else?

    Can you let it idle and see anything leaking. My first W/P on a 3800 had a very slight leak on the top and I could see it bubble a little on the top of the pump. I had to take it all back apart and redo the seal to get it right. But better safe than sorry.
