On my 89' Conbrio, I pulled the pump in the early summer to check and clean it and I put in back on backwards. Engine started getting warm and I knew I had done something wrong. Went back, switched the pump around and it ran cool as a cucumber like always. Thats what happens when you get in a hurry.
