supercharger.. install.... HELP!!!!

[SC V6]

today I installed it.. and everything was fine, but when I turned it on.. it was idoling REALLY ruff.. it soulded like I had a huge cam, then I realized that a piece in the ECU was unclipped.. so I turned the car off, then plugged it back in, and then when it went to idol or w\e it was around 100 or 150 rpms? whats going on.. the engine sounds GREAT but it can't keep an idol.. wahts goin on?[/quote]

Does it just idol low or does it shut off completely? After i installed mine, when i went for a drive, it would shut off after i came to a stop, seemed like when i wasn't pushing on the gas it would idol low and then shut off. It did this for like 3-4 starts and then after that it was fine, it was just the ecu getting used to the new supercharger. Also at one point i unplugged a plug in the engine next to the intake and forgot to plug it back in, well when i started the car with the plug unplugged it would start fine and then have a very low idol and eventually shut off unless i gave it gas, make sure all of your electrical plugs are plugged in.

this may be done already, but have you disconnected the battery to reset the ECU?

Make sure you don't have a vacuum leak, either with missing bolts/gaskets or an unplugged vacuum hose.

I found it... it was a hose that was not connected.. I got it... I love the boost, but for some reason it doesn't seem like all that much... I have an auto, with an injen intake, and greddy exhaust.... why would it seem like not that much? I have my S-afc II but its not installed or tuned yet... why would it seem like not that much of a different.. and I heard someone say that its not suppost to boost in first.. but mine does.. whats the real story?

Well the real story is that some people get boost in first (like me) and others don't. Be glad you are one of the lucky ones. As far as how much difference it makes, give the computer some time to adjust. Also, I would ditch the intake, try it with the stock setup. The supercharger really hates hot air.

Upgrading to a 5.5 or 6 PSI pulley (depending on where you live) will help. And make sure you are using the best premium gas available.

So true, its amazing what a 10 degree difference will do to the throttle response.

Where are you located and whats the temperature like, that could play a huge role.

If you have boost in 1st (like george and I do) do you have it cutting boost between 1-2 shift?

IDLE, not idol. IDLE, IDLE, IDLE!

so how's that american idol doing? i don't think ruben should have won IMHO.

I get boost in first.. do u think I should put the stock air box back on??? and the resonating chamber also???.. secondly, my low battery light comes on in first, when the rpm's get above 1000, and stays on until either it goes above 4000 rpms (it doesn't turn back on unless I stop and go back to first below 1000) or the rpm's drop below 1000 again, in which case it will light back up when it goes back above 1000.. whats goin on?

[SC V6]

the alternater thing stopped... so.. nm taht question.. someone please answer the other parts tho.. thanks

Put back the stock air box and buy a k&n filter
