Replace your impeller. A plastic bag in the water has taken out more than one impeller.

It's pushing steam because it's REALLY hot. Check your compression to make sure gasket is good. Then pull lower unit, change impeller, and spray garden hose up the water tube to check for flow. If the impeller was disintegrated then pulll the thermostat and blow water down to try and get rid of any impeller particles before you put lower unit back on.
