I have a 99 AUTOMATIC with 163k on it. It has a supercharger on it with no boost gages anywhere. I am confused on what to do at this point; the car is an auto wich has to be drivin in Sport mode (just ordered a TCM) but when it gets the new TCM, is it stoopid to hook the Supercharger up to it. The belt is not on it currently.
On top of that the timing belt broke 2 days ago, so should I pull the SC and sell it to do a 5spd swap or hook that f....r back up?
Why can you only drive it in the sport shift mode?
Why does it need a new TCM? (I have one you can have btw)
Why wasnt the supercharger hooked up? (should be a Jackson Racing SC unless its some custom setup)
What were you doing with the car when the timing belt broke?
once the mechanic looks at it and you answer these questions we might be able to help you out more.
sport shift mode is the only way to manage the **** points for me. in auto mode it jumps around and is very unpredictable. I was told that it more than likely needed a TCM. Also there was a forum that described the same problems that I am having due to the TCM. I appreciate the help!!!
The kid I got it from said the belt had broken and he didnt put the new one on yet. He only had 1 leg so I believed him!
The car just died at the stop light with the a/c on. It started back up and got me around the corner about 15ft then I shut it off. There is a noise coming from the timing belt area it seems. but the car did crank..then wine...then crank when I tried to start it after I shut it off the first time. So until I get $ for the swap together, I thaught a TCM would get me by.
Given your other thread, I think it would first be wise to focus on getting the 5-speed swap up and running. Get that ironed out and trouble free, then think about getting the SC back online.

I say slap it on, turn up boost and see what happens. There hasnt been a stock block, automatic, high mileage SC lude tester yet. I think that's the last one missing.
Well the mechanic said there are bent valves and the TB is still in tact, auto tentioner broke right?!. He suggests a new motor. Before I slap the charger on the new motor, is there anything I should consider replacing on the motor or preping the motor for the SC? There is no boost gage in the car currently!? A list of priorities would help me considerably! Planning on the 5-speed swap along with the new motor and the H23 manual tentioner!!
