If we're talking the engine pump, there are two. The main one driven off the timing belt, and a secondary afterrun pump that's electrically powered, and runs after shutdown to dissipate engine heat and prevent heat soak related problems.

Clogging would be very unlikely. Sometimes the impellers fall off though, which would cause no flow.

Isn't the main pump impellers made of plastic and break. There are metal replacements.

Very interesting I have a problem that I can not resolve after I did a flush. I fill the coolant system and the water/coolant as it starts to warm up you see the water/coolant start to rise and when its hot it shoots out the reservoir like a volcano ! Ive tried just about everything nothing has resolved it so far , Im at my wits end.

It's also possible that the thermostat is just stuck.

Head gasket test kits are cheap, easy to use with internet instructions, and available at any FLAPS.

Any other recent work done to van?

It started to happen after you flushed and not before? What did you do to flush?

If the thermostat is out, then the only thing that I can think of is that there is a blockage. (no shit you may say Very Happy ) The return hose at the bottom of the reservoir connects to the metal pipe that returns to the block at driver side front. Check the pipe/hose and see if there is a blockage. Here is a 5 cylinder coolant diagram with my chicken scratch of the coolant flow.
