I just replaced my water pump and everything went well. I had to not drive
it for about 10 days, now, when I do, it seems to idle awfully high.  Any
ideas?

thanks

Check the fuse on the overload relay... located behind your battery... red
fuse on top... check fuse.

This seems whacked?  How would the water pump affect the overload relay?

Make sure you put the serpentine belt back on the right way?

Seems wacky.
Good Luck,
Marty

It is not related to water pump... but sometime the high idling is related
to overload relay. It is just a good chance that maybe they jumpstarted the
car and zapped the fuse.

Not sure that I see a fuse on the battery side. I have a fuse box on the
opposite side. What does the fuse look like?

Behind your battery is a black cover... you have to remove it to see that
overload relay.

Does the battery need to be removed? Can't seem to find anything like this.

thanks

Look... you see black plastic cover behind the battery under the
windshield... you may have to lift up the hood gasket to release that
plastic cover... You should see all the electronics behind it.
