to tell you the truth idk maybe your WP could be going bad just how mine did

mine started the same night that my car overheated.

but the cause of my overheating was in fact the WP it was pretty much done same with the head gaskets it was ugly lol but im in need of the driveshaft coupler connector and it seems like AZ or Checkers dont have the piece and i need to get the car running by tomorrow

I would think it would be the wp, but my buddy's camaro had similar problems just turned out that the water temp sensor in the head was acting up

Did your old coupler not come off? Is it completely shot? Better hop on the regional section for where you are and see if anyone local has one, typically not a part you can find just anywhere locally. I had to soak mine in PB Blaster and then use a prybar, but it did eventually separate from the old waterpump.
