I think this is the right wiring diagram.

either you have put in a higher rated thermostat ,or when the water pump failed you damaged the head gasket or distorted the head

You need four things for an engine to run. 1. fuel 2. spark 3. compression 4. timing (spark at the right time. By your post it seems you have fuel and spark and you probably have compression unless you blew a head gasket. That leaves the timing. Check the timing and/or the timing belt or chain whichever you have.

parts are not hard to find, what is the part u need.

Sounnds like a thermostat sticking open at times, or, the temperature regulator inside the vehicle is malfunctioning.

STOP Downshifting!
STOP Forcing gear change, watch the Engine RPMs and shift accordingly, HOMBRE's are as good as the operator's. Hombre's have dash shift indicators which illuminate when it's time to 'shift' and not before, This has nothing to do with gear oil either. If you've drained it, you best fill it immediately and make sure it's ample level. The heat these gears sustain in is inceredible, cooling lubricant is essential. Here's a tip, while engine is OFF, ignition key is engaged, dash is illuminated, depress clutch peddle, keep it depressed and walk through all gears with gear shift, shifting should be smooth and unpeded, including reverse. If resistance is experienced at one or more gears, gear alignment is off as a result of inproper gear shifting while driving. Continue to drive vehicle just shift slower until clutch needs replacement then do an entire drive shaft upgrade. It worth it, it's great truck.

Cracked spark plug, damaged worn plug cable, the clicking, thumping is a result of operator forcing engine to run out of synch, as result of electrical combustion loss. the fact the vehicle continues to run rules out any problem with fuel line - fuel components. Let us know the outcome please.

Recheck your work that fixed it the first time scrape wire if you spliced,oxidation ( discolored wires) make cold connections (not very good) something it's the most simple solution.

old post but there are 2 post now. so... FSM quote: On 1996-99 vehicles the slave cylinder is called a concentric slave cylinder. It is located on the inside of the transmission bell housing on the input shaft. Removal of the transmission is required to replace it. It directly engages the clutch release bearing.

It's very possible that your speed sensor is the root cause of all or most of your stated problems. The speed sensor is involved in many of the operations of the electronic engine control system. It would be worth the effort to replace the speed sensor with a new one, reset your EEC computer, and see what improves!

check spark yet, try test fuel>? no engine option stated, so no details. in answers.

does it jumper start ok using a running other car?????? does it crank robustly.? y/n? check fuses first, test them.

NO crank, NO head lights is. dead battery, due to 1: left on lights.? or phatom drains. 2: charge system dead. 3: battery end of life. try what is called a jumper start. start now?

old post wont crank but cranks and wont start. if it cranks , check for spark, at ALL CYLINDERS. google , how to check spark, same way for 114 years.

if no visual water leak on the radiator n hoses orany water passage.. maybe it the cylinder head gasket,, this simpton is when u run high speed the engine temp also goes up

sounds like a fuel filter problem, when the engine shuts down,the blockage settles, then when driving, the fuel pump draws the blockage back.......check fuel filters
