    I'm ticked off. I just took off my supercharger and ported it. Went to put everything back together and the car won't start. It cranks and fires and literally dies a split second later as if I turned it on and turned the key right back off. Fuel pump is brand new. Fuel filter is brand new. Coil wires are in the right spots. All the electrical connections have been put back together. Everything worked fine until After the supercharger was re-installed. I just want my baby back on the road ASAP. I'm going to scan for codes today and post if anyhing pops up.

    double check all your connections again and spark plug wires. Also, do you hear the fuel pump make noise before you crank it?

    I've double checked all of the connections and my fuel pump does make the humming when I turn the key on. I'm stomped.

    The only other thing I could think of is a severe vacuum leak under the supercharger... maybe some others will chime in.

    Thanks anyway for the suggestions...Under the supercharger? By that do you mean on the left side by the snout?

    The supercharger has a big gasket under it, that sits on top of the Lower intake. I had a bad leak in mine one, and it made my car stall. Can you not keep the car running with your foot on the gas? Definitely get the car scanned for codes too.

    Just got it running. The Supercharger gasket was leaking coolant near the O rings and I had some cracked vacuum lines. All is well and she's screaming like she loves me.
