took impeller apart again and same problem, do you think it might be the poppet valve? looks like i might have to take alot of things out to do that. [h=1][/h]

That motor will not pee at an idle or until the thermostats open. It will need to be around 1200 rpms before it starts coming out the peeholes as I think it has 2.
