As your looking at engine from the front of the truck on the left side on the supercharger there is what appears to be a solenoid. Can this stick open? My truck had no power from the supercharger. The boost gauge would peg out when I accelerated. Any Ideas or has any one had this happen?

 

Thats the idle air solenoid, it controls the engine idle only, it wouldn`t have anything to do with your problem.

 

What would cause the supercharger not build up any boost? Is there a valve that could remain open?

 

On the opposit side is the boost bypass. You can unplugg the electrical and see if that does anything.

 

How can it peg the boost gauge but not have any boost?

Any chance you have your parking brakes engaged? Is you intercooler reservoir full?

 

Fluid level is good-no brake on. The truck had no power. I would floor it from a dead stop and barely chirp the tires. No supercharger whine either. I checked all the fittings, unplugged the solenoid. Then took the truck out for a spin and she ran great. Smoked the tires until I let up. What could have caused this? Any ideas?
