Angry Please help, supercharger acting up.

Hey guys, I have the 05 srt6 automatic and for about a week or so now when I punch the gas I have no added boost, the car revs up as normal but the super charger isnt engaging. This does not happen all the time but it is getting a little worse, what do I need to look for or where do I start looking. I am new to the supercharger scene.Please help.

If your sprinkles dispenser is clogged that will cause your supercharger to deacivate, I bet that is his problem!

I think your problem is your reving problem is causing the supercharger to act up not vice versa

Is that when you are in park, the car will not rev over 4,000 RPM in park? When you start giving it throttle from a start you should be able to tell if the supercharger engage's. I know when I'm stopped and start moving as I give it throttle the car gives a slight hesitation when the supercharger kicks in, plus I have a little LED light that comes on when the I/C pump starts and it comes on at the same time I feel the hesitation.

Yeah, some people on here have had no problems with their I/C pumps with quite a few mile's on their car and others have had them go out with very few mile's. It just makes you want to scratch your head and wonder what or why this is. I don't use mine as a daily driver so I'll wait till she goes, if I recall correctly last time I looked at the odometer it said 3,6xx mile's. I really would like to drive it more often bacause it's so much fun, but I don't get out much. If I did use it as a daily driver I'd probably get myself in trouble, it keeps telling me to give it more throttle and when I do it just wants more .

Can I get your old pump. I wanna do an analysis of the failure since we all seem to have so much issue with this pump? I need to get some meaningful data to answer to question of the failure mechanism. Let me know Thanks Woody
