Question:

Can a water pump....?

can a worn water pump make the car idle high while in park when driven for a long period of time......03 grand prix

Answer:

The water pump is only an impeller and moves fluid through the engine for the purpose of cooling. With that in mind, no, it should have no effect. Suspect you have a vacuum leak that is causing your high idle, check for a high pitched whistle and when you find it, fix it.
