Default Vortech Aftercooler Help

My mechanic is bolting the Vortech aftercooler assembly back on, and he said that the aftercooler pump is not working. He already replaced the electrical wiring, but it didn't help. Any ideas?
I'm going to drop by the shop tommorrow, but I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.
Randy

They can get an air pocket easy and not pump. Its only got a hot wire and a ground. So if its getting power take the hose off and see if the impeller is spinning. If it is you need to work the air pocket out. If not its the pump.

He did say he checked the wiring for hot and ground, he even replaced the wiring, no change.
Any idea how much a new water pump is?

Vortech says the new water pump assembly is $200. $150 just for the water pump, but they don't make the one I have anymore, so I have to buy the whole assembly. And its NOT covered under warranty!

buy this Jabsco for $110 shipped to your door. It is probably better than the Vortech one anyway. It is one that all of the Syclone/Typhoon guys upgrade to. http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/
and go to Sy/Ty IC Pump on the left.
