Ok so I was driving my mustang home tonight and about five min in to the trip, I start running rough and my service engine light comes on. I pulled over and found out that one of my blower hoses came off so I fixed it and I was good but the light stayed on. About 5 min after that i hit a curb while taking a turn. When I got home I opened back up the hood and noticed that my pro charger pully was hitting the alternator. did me hiting the curb knock my engine forward into the pully? If so how can I fix it?? Please help! Will be posting pics of problem soon.

My first guess isnt the engine moving...unless you hit a curb meaning a brick building. Engine mounts bell housing trans mounts...alot if stuff holding it in place pretty well for a small curb to move the motor. In my application the pocharger is held to the block by a bracket. Likely the bracket or one or the three bolts broke or came out letting the procharger tilt and move. This would also throw the serpentine belt off a little running loose etc. Id check procharger bracket and bolts first.

Are ou sure it couldn't be the engine moving? I was going maybe 30 trying to catch a light and unit my back left tire whil making a left turn.

Idk...cant see a curb hop yanking the engine and trans forward. They are hooked together. Cant say 100% no until i looked. But im still doubting it. My process of elimination would be bracket/bolts. Alternator. Etc. Engine would be last. The Procharger uses one of the altenator bolts. Goes through bracket thru alt. Into block. Since they are so close and using the same bolt...id be there first.

On your problem I have a 99 GT Procharged P1SC. And I noticed my procharger pulley hitting my alternator as well i just let it ride just like it was and it wore a groove in the alternator housing and is now doing fine. I beleive its just a poor design by procharger. However it doest do any harm b/c that is only the alternator housing and no internals are being struck. Or atleast this was my case. Did you just buy the car or ther supercharger and have it put on or is it something youve owned and never noticed?

One of the bolts that hold your SC bracket to your engine is missing a shim, I had the same problem when I first installed my blower. I am not sure how the Procharger system bolts up as i have vortech. But for me the bolt to the rt of the blower that replaces one of the alternator bolts needed a shim. When I tightened it it pulled the blower in just a hair and caused contact.. try putting a 1/8 shim on that bolt to move your blower away.

Just put on a smaller pulley.

Just dremel your alternator abit - it is what I did for my vortech setup.

Same problem with my old P1-SC kit. Went to a double-shouldered 3.4" pulley and it was rubbing on the alternator... just ever so slightly.

I just let it self-clearance. It was never a problem. It made a tiny bit of dust for the first 5k miles or so then all was fine.
