    I bet if you removed the belt from the supercharger and you grabbed the superchargers pulley and move it back and forth quickly you would feel alot of slack and that where the rocks in a bucket sound comes from.

    The coupler is a just plastic and over time it wears out and makes that noise.


    As for the car stalling/dying, it has nothing to do with the supercharger. Yes the supercharger does spin faster than the engine rpm because the pulley is 1/4th the size of the BIG pulley called the harmonic balancers that spins both belts at the same time. Its purpose is to spin faster and create boost for the car.


    Does the car just die out of no where and you are able to start it up and keep going???

    Do the rpms drop to zero, then the car dies a short time later?

    If so that is a common crank sensor issue.

    Thank you so very very much! I have forwarded the information to my "peeps" to see what they can come up with... so far I gotta give you props because the know it all says ooohhh... that makes since that sounds about right so kudos to you!

    What has happened when she cuts off is I'm driving slow down to go around a curve or turn and the idle spazzing starts jumping from 0 to over 1 rpms then on the down spike she dies... I throw it in park and begin to start. It's taken a couple of tries and usually success comes from me listening to the turn over and hitting the gas hard just right then I can go. It's not the map sensor ( God knows I know about those!).

    I still think the snout needs servicing... I am positive no one serviced it before I got it and it still sounds like "poo" I do know the tensioner is loose for the supercharger belt but of course I'm told to just drive it... it's ok so...

    But thanks again and I will see what I can do from here. If you have any other info please share!
