If the engine was allowed to get real hot it could damage bearings and crack/warp heads or blown head gaskets. Damaged bearings would show up as low oil pressure, a flickering oil light at an idle and noises that weren't there before. Cracked/warped heads or blown head gaskets would show up as coolant mixing with engine oil and white smoke (steam) coming out the exhaust pipe.

Is there a Diagram on replacing water pump on Honda accord 1994?

The water pump is driven by the cam belt. This engine is an interference engine and as such it is critical that the cam belt be replaced correctly or severe engine damage will occur. In order to replace the water pump the cam belt must be removed. Unless you know what you are doing I suggest you take your car to a professional to have the water pump replaced and replace the cam belt at the same time. The cam belt must be replaced every 90,000 miles. If it breaks, severe engine damage will occur.
