    Tell us what code is set and that'll give the best help in diagnosis.

    Til then..it could be something simple like a bad BCA/BCS etc.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I'd have to wait till I'm home to pull the code unless there is a key trick to get the code.

    We are willing to wait.

    See the code will probably enlighten us and save you time/money on the fix.

    I'll maybe try to run over to auto zone and have them pull the code to get a jump start on things. Is the BCS/BCA right on the supercharger? I have a second supercharger sitting in the back seat that I could yank parts off of............ I'm proficient with cars and engine work but I haven't done any engine work on the 3.8 yet.

    Money's on "Front Bank Lean." Check the Rubber T under your s/c snout. It might be pulled off (they often dry rot and tear), causing a vacuum leak, which means that your MAP sensor won't see your boost and can't relay it to the computer, and therefore the DIC.

    Thanks. That's the type of info I'm looking for. Just common problems to give me a starting point.
