Sputtering during acceleration engine power loss

I know this is probably a Longshot but would a computer off a non supercharged 3.8 work on a 3.8 supercharged. And would the injectors be the same off a non supercharged engine
 


im sure it would run, but run poorly. with a n/a pcm.

pretty sure the injectors are not the same. you can always look up the part # of each on rock auto or other parts site.
 
I figured it would be to good to be true. ..just sucks cause nearest garage is 50 miles away.i live back in the boonies. ..I'll get it scanned tomarrow and see what kind of codes are showing up...
 
i bought a 15 dollar code scanner when i got sick and tired of waiting on line at the parts store for the free scanner there.

torque app also reads codes. thats about 15 bucks too. its for droid os's tho.
 


So I haven't posted anything for a while.i want to thank everyone for all the time and input you all put into helping me with my questions. ....so here is what was wrong...AUTOZONE GAVE ME COIL PACKS THAT WE'RE FOR A DIFFERENT ENGINE.after I put my new long block in and got rid or the hole in my piston I wnas still experiencing the sputtering and engine power loss.minus the huge hole in my number 3 piston...I started switching things around that I took off the car....so I changed the coil packs back to the old ones and BAM magic happened and it did not misfire or sputter one bit....I was pissed so I go to auto zone and tell them what they done and the first thing they said was no exchanges on electronic devices. ...I gladly told them I didn't want my money back I came back to tell everyone working there that the were idiots and I would never be back....so long story short the people working at my local auto zone are a joke and they gave me the wrong coil packs all this time
 
no exchanges or refunds on electronics.....that old classic line. nice how you have to eat someone else's ignorance.


glad its up and running right now.
 
Thanks man the scanner was a big help also I had sensors bad n didn't even know and wouldn't have if u wouldn't have told me about how affordable they were
 
well when you look at the scanners at the parts stores and even HF, they want over a 100 most of the time. ( thats enough to make you not want one) and it does the same thing as a cheap o scanner. :th_winking:
