Water pump? you took your front engine apart? crazy... well you replaced everything but the radiator and coolant temperature sensor. Are you blowing white smoke from the exhaust? green in your oil pan? waking up in the middle of the night with heartburn? Prilosec OTC may be a good idea.

Well in that case you're gonna have to go smurf hunting. I noticed no mention of your coolant temp sensor. Its like $30. But cat efficiency is measured, and you would probably notice poor acceleration, terrible fuel economy, and a check engine light glowing in your face. I dont know what else to go for. You pretty much checked out the entire cooling system.

Did you backflush the radiator during this process?
