Will not accelerate uphill

Hi,

It sounds like you have a few different issues. Did the vehicle run properly for the test drive?

As far as the running/power loss, I need you to check for diagnostic trouble codes. Here is a link that shows how it's done. You don't need a scan tool to retrieve codes.

Now, the water pump. To get you started, here is a link that shows in general how it is done:

If you look at the attachments below, they are the directions specific to your vehicle for the replacement of the water pump. As far as the fan, yes it will need removed and reinstalled on the new pump. This will require a special tool that holds the fan clutch while loosening the nut retaining the clutch to the pump/pulley. However, most parts stores will lend you the tool to do it. Pic 3 below shows what the special tools look like.

Let me know what you find and if this helps.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

Let me know how the water pump works out for you. For the other question, I need you to start a new thread specific to that question. We try to keep them specific to one topic so it is helpful to others. I hope you understand.

As far as the fuel, if you are referring to the filler tube, that is certainly an issue. I will watch for your new post. Just copy and paste that new question. Here is the link:
