86.5 7MGE Problems

Alright, so I finally changed out my water pump and two more short hoses that had a crack in them and were swollen. I noticed that there is some pitting or scraping inside the chamber where the water pump sat, hopefully it's nothing to be concerned about. The water pump didn't didn't look too bad, but I changed it out anyways to keep from doing it later on down the road. In the process of it all I ended up with a broken temp fuel control sensor I think that's what it's called and now have to wait until Thursday or Friday for the part to come in from Toyota. So, now I won't be able to test out my work until then. But on the positive side it forces me to wait to make sure I have a good seal formed before I put antifreeze in and start putting pressure back on the system, should be good since I used high temp RTV in place of the gasket cause the gasket it came with was destroyed to begin with.
