    can someone please help me on this, i dont know where to look anymore.
    whenever i step on the fuel, under hard accelleration, my engine sputters and basically dies. zero power.
    we cant have a supercharged pontiac grand prix gtp (02) not pass a car on the highway now can we?

    i have replaced the air filter, plug wires, catalytic converter and full exhaust. there are no engine codes.
    it runs great unless i spool up that supercharger.
