/Agree with Dubeone more than likely it is the idler pulleys or the tensioner, but also could be the supercharger pulley. these should not have any play in them. Depending on mileage and how the supercharger was maintained, it may need rebuilding. the impeller shaft bearings may be worn out causing it not to run true during RPM increases or decreases. Hopes this helps ~ Zach

These cars have a lot of problems with all the idler pulleys and the tensioner. You will most likely have to replace them.You may also want to check the harmonic balancer and make sure it is running true.Spin the supercharger by hand with the belt off,it should spin freely with no end play in the shaft to speak of.I hope this helps...Dan

Does the supercharger belt need to be removed to replace the serpentine belt on 2002 Buick regal?

if the serpentine belt is behind the supercharger belt and there is no way to get it off then yes but I suspect that if you fiddle a bit the belt will come off

How do I remove the altinator belt and replace the supercharger with a new one? just so you guys know... MINE IS DONE FOR NOSE BROKE AND BEARING CAME OUT AND ITS SEIZED. PLUS PULLEY BROKE IN HALF.

Sorry to hear that. Few people know the supercharger has its own oil. It needs to be checked and refilled as the car ages.
There is a spring loaded belt tensioning device....you need a socket that fits the bolt (some have a square hole for a 1/2 breaker bar) you take the tension off the belt and slip the belt off the most convenient pulley.

Just replaced the supercharger belt I am trying to release the tension to get it around the supercharger pulley. How do I release the tension of the belt?

There are 2 sepentine belts on your vehicle. You must use a wrench to turn the belt tensioners. Usually a breaker-bar works well.

The tensioner for the outer belt is below the power steering pump and is easier to get to with the vehicle jacked up and the wheel and plastic splash-shield removed. The tensioner for the inner belt (the one for the supercharger) is located between the alternator and the supercharger. (see picture)

I have a 2000 mazda millenia s with a 2.3L supercharged it is no power to take off from a stop or when you finally get to at cruising speed and try to accelerate the supercharger has a rattle when it is at...

Mazda did once use a supercharger of a very unusual design that used pressure waves from the exhaust to create depressions in the chambers of a rotating honeycomb. The one I saw was belt drive and because the belt was slipping slightly the supercharger was out of synch with the crank and the loss of power was dramatic. Replacing the belt and correctly tensioning it restored full power.

Maybe your car has this type...
