Default Revving something?

My S-Type is doing something strange. It doesn’t do it all the time so when I try to get my mechanic to drive it, it notoriously doesn’t do it. The car will rev forward then feel like it loses power and does that back and forth and sometimes making this awful growling sound coming from under the engine. I can’t tell if it’s my transmission or maybe the supercharger or what. Right now they’re fixing the compressor on it, well replacing it because they said it was leaking fluid. However I don’t think that is what is doing this to my car. Does anyone have any ideas or have you had this happen? Please help. I want to drive my baby again!

Default Revving

The year make and model of my car is a 2004 S Type R V8 with Supercharger. As far as what compressor they are replacing, they said my air conditioning system compressor was leaking fluid so I’m assuming that’s what they’re doing.

After they replace the AC compressor see if you can narrow down your problems? That could be the cause of the noise?

We are only guessing from far away!
How many miles?
Have you done any work to it?

Have you checked for codes and cleared any you found?
Do you know how to do that?

Have you noticed maybe it only does it after a cold-start? (thus explaining why you can't get it to do it for your mechanic?)
