okay, so i installed a new water pump and now at a stoplight the idle revs from around 800 rpm up to around 2,000 rpm, drops, then revs, drops, then revs...when i go to accelrate the car seems fine.
i found some info on this thread:

but i also hear a clicking noise from under the hood. this didn't seem to get addressed in the previous thread. i haven't located where the noise is coming from. what i guess i need to do is to run the car and let the thermostat open and then refill the radiator again and see what happens. that clicking noise has me a little worried though (as well as the weird idle problem) because i have a 450 mile trip back home on tuesday night and don't want to get stranded in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night.
if anyone has any ideas i'd appreciate it. thanks!
