Thread: Struggling with my GTP

I have a 98 grand prix gtp. I got it for cheap and it isn't in the best condition. After owning it for a month or so it began to lose power so I took it to oriellys and had it scanned, one code was for the MAF sensor and another had something to do with vaccums. It got worse until my idle pulley seized up and the car wasn't running very well. I replaced the idle pulley and belt with some help and it ran much better. A week later it started gurgling and cutting off when I started it. And that's my biggest issue right now. 75% of the time I start it it cuts off. The only way to make it go is to keep my foot on the gas and then let off and quickly put it into drive and shoot off before it dies. During this period it gurgles and sputters and the display screen says the supercharger is all the way on. After about 30 seconds of pushing it it starts driving normal and the supercharger turns off. I took it to a garage and all they could tell me was that they think the supercharger is broken and it's causing the problems. Charged me $120 just to tell me that. I took it and got it scanned again and got more than 10 codes. The only ones I even began to understand were the codes that said the MAF sensor wasn't working, that cylinder 3 was misfiring and another code that said "multiple misfires detected." And another about the evap system. I can't remember the rest but I still have the sheets at home.
•I am not a mechanic and know little on car repairs
•I only paid 1200 for this car and the interior is crap, so let me know if it's not worth it
If any of you can help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks everybody

I took it to the shop and they didn't do anything, it was just a local shop but they were recommended to me by my church. I'll post those codes this afternoon. The garage I took it to said it'd be multiple thousands of dollars. Which is ridiculous because I can find an m90 eaton for much cheaper than that. When I first called I asked if they had any workers that knew anything about superchargers and they were entirely unsure. They more than likely just said that to get me to leave. Thanks for the help I'll get you those codes soon

one time i looked at the MAF sensor and it wasnt connected at all. i tried putting it back on and it went back on but the plug is cracked and i dont think its really connected

Would the MAF sensor be causing all of these problems? Here are the codes I have:
P1406-egr valve pintle position malfunction(no clue what that is)
P0441-Evap system no flow during purge(my engines always running hot too, maybe this affects that? Idk)
P1641-MIL control circuit malfunction(no clue)
P0107-MAP sensor circuit low voltage (???)
P0102-MAF sensor circut low frequency
P0300-multiple engine misfire detected
P0303-cylinder 3 misfire detected

Do those help this diagnosis at all?

The ign fuse is in the right place

Im not sure so I just swapped it with one of the spares. There's also this thin hollow tube running from the top of the supercharger that is black and isn't connected to anything

How do I post pictures? And after I do I'm gonna need instructions on how to do all of this because I don't know what to do really. I have a family friend who had a supercharged Buick that can help, but I'll still need base instructions

I know I'm asking a lot but I'm very thankfull to you guys
