Uh OHHH WTF!!!
Ok here is my short story of what is going on. I send my car to a guy that I know that has been working on my exterior of my car, this is during my 2 week long xmas vacation. I finally get back and couldn't get a hold of him really. I finally get a hold of him and get my car back a few days later when I come back from the vacation. I found some reciepts from the grocery store when he DROVE my car there without tellin me and I am sure he has driven it other places as well. But anyways I get it back and have not driven it yet. I let my girlfriend take it to JIFFY LUBE or someplace like that to get the oil changed cause it needed to be changed before I went on vacation anyways. So they change it and fill all da fluids like they usually do and give it the 14 point inspection. They clean or check my air filter, fill my washer fluid and whatever else. I finally get it back and my car sounds different. They supercharger is a whole lot louder and it is making a different sound, kind of whiney I guess. Anyone have any ideas why this could be? Did Jiffy Lube fill something with the wrong fluid or could cleaning the air filter change the sound? Did they unhook something? Or did the dumbass guy who drove it to the store drive it too hard when I needed to change my oil!!!!! Can anyone help me on this. Kinda hard without hearing it but has anyone had anything like this happen to them?

Connect a USB cable from your computer to your PCM, type CHK_SYS at a DOS prompt. Copy and paste the results in to an email and send it to me. If you have the Shaker 1000 system you will need to hold down the Alt key.

Yeah you got the story basically right. Well I know it's not the girlfriend cause she drives it like a grandma basically. But I don't know, the supercharger seems like it's louder than normal and it just makes more of a whiney sound, and this is even at idle. I didn't want an inspection on my car they just gave it one. All I wanted was to get my oil changed and they changed almost all the fluids. So I am not sure what the problem is. It's kinda hard to explain.
