Here are some tips and tricks that may help.
With any twin screw supercharged vehicle, keeping supercharger heat and temps down are a MUST. These cars and many others fall victim to heat soak. When this happens, the ECU will pull timing and power to help protect the engine from serious damage. We recommend that you frequently check your intercooler lines to ensure that coolant is flowing properly and ensuring that your supercharger is staying cool. Now onto the good stuff.
If you find that your pump is not working, there could be many reasons for that. The factory pump is a solid unit, however has been since discontinued causing the aftermarket world to provide better and more cost effective solutions. The first step would be to open up the fuse box and verify that fuse #32 is good. If this turns out to be good, then the next steps are more involved. Jack the car up and remove the passenger side tire. At this point, you can remove the fender liners and factory shields, to access the intercooler pump. The pump and connector are tucked away, but are relatively accessible if you follow this step. Remove the connector and verify voltage with the key on. If you have 12 volts at the connector, then you should be in good shape. The pumps can lock up due to air pockets, however this is rare. Verify adequate supercharger coolant level by removing the bleeder screw up top on the line feeding the brick inlet. If no voltage is present, follow the next step. Remove the fuse box bolts and CAREFULLY begin disassembly of the fuse box. Inspect contact points and clean as needed. Put the fuse box back together and ENSURE the wire harness connectors are tight and snug on the bottom of the fuse box. This should solve your voltage issue. Sounds crazy, but it happens and works.
At this point, the pump should be working. If not, research aftermarket pump options that will fit your application and budget. We are always here to help!
