How to tell if the intercooler pump is running? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Is there any obvious indications when the pump turns on? I think I can feel fluid moving through the lines when I put my fingers on them. Is there any audible noise associated with the pump?

I can hear mine, passenger side next to lower corner of radiator. I also have a reservoir, so I just remove the cap.

Passenger side? I thought it was on the drivers side?

After I start the car I try to listen and I can't hear anything turn on, although I can feel fluid moving in the hoses. My coolant level is full.

I think if you pull the coolant cap off the fill port by the blower, and turn on the ignition and run it the coolant will go all over. It will be an obvious indication it is pumping

just feel the pump or hose after you start it, you can feel the pump running or fluid circulating in the hose if not you may be low on coolant.
