gas sensor

[downstami]

The belt to my supercharger recently broke, i was wondering if it will hurt my car if i drive it without the belt. I heard that when i step on the gas hard it might push too much gas through and possibly crystalize the spark plugs. Does anyone know if there is a sensor on my car to prevent that? Can i drive the car without the belt without hurting my car? I have a 98' pontiac grand prix gtp

If i herd correctly i dont think there should be any issues without the belt. im sure someone will chime in though to confirm that or not...

You shouldn't have any issues running without the belt. The supercharger doesn't do anything until it reaches a certain rpm anyway as boost is engine speed dependent. Running without the belt will certainly limit performance but will not damage the engine. When you replace the belt go with a Goodyear Gatorback.

yeah you will def. notice a big engine power loss, thats about it though.
