The Charger came with the car, with headers pulleys injectors. From what I understand, it was installed at the honda dealership. Don't really know to many people to work on it. But I read someone was hearing a humming coming from the engine. Mine does that but I do have it supercharged is it normal. Well check with you all later don't quite understand this yet. thnx

As I said in the other thread about your problem:
"I would need a better description of the symptoms to help you. Does it do it early in the morning, late in the day, under hard acceleration or soft, in all gears, does it do it a lot or just a couple times, etc."

Actually theres no frequente pattern. It does it I guess when It feels like it. Sometimes it runs smooth as it shood. Other times it tends to studder at around 3000 RPMs other times it tends to just completely shut off when in neutral. The worst is then driving and my check engine light comes on, when that happends the rpms will not ecced 3000 RPMs on any gear. To end that problem I unhook the battery and it resets the comp enableing me to drive normal. Every day its a different situation. One day its perfectm the next studdering. Wish I could understand. When I first bought the car a year ago the mechanics said it was just breaking in the supercharger. A year later still the problem and worst. Ive e mailed vorthech for advice many times but no answer. Where im from knowlageable mechanics for imports are scares. I mean I took it back to the dealership and the head mechanic told me my problem was all that crap that was added needs to come off. All that tells me is that he is just a technical school graduate who knows only what he needs to to be basic. Id really appreciate any advice u all have for me. PS sorry for the bad spelling not an engish major. Thanx for noticing my cry for help

Always a bad idea unless in the worst case situation. Resetting the computer by pulling the battery terminal does not allow you to see what the CEL is. You can't solve the problem if the car is trying to tell you what is wrong and you don't take the time to listen. The next time the CEL comes on, take the car to Auto Zone or Kragen and have them pull the code. From there, we can determine what the code is and what can be done to fix it, not just make the light go out.

That is odd. I would think Vortec would want to help their customers.

That may actually be true, but we won't know until we know what the problem is. Get the code.
