Not saying the shop does anything wrong, but GOD it is annoying. Car can't hold an idle (plugs, wires and FF just replaced), A/C wasn't shooting as cool of air as it was before I dropped it off, LOTS of squeaking/rattling noises from under/behind the car, etc etc etc.

Basically it's the idle thing. Fluctuates bigtime, then drops like it's gonna pass out and sounds like crap. I hate it. Maybe the ECU is still dizzy?

I don't know if it's just me or my car, but it seems like this stuff happens after any other human besides myself touches the damn thing

 

wen ever the idle fluctuates, the 1st place to look is the MAP sensor hose... did it come loose?? make sure all the hoses to and from the intercooler are tight...

 

I know exactly how you feel, happens to me all the time. I feel ya!

 

if they had your battery disco'd and hit the brakes, your ECU may just be re-learning how to idle.

When my car comes out of the shop there are always at least 2 more problems than when it went in

 

My car went into a local shop once to have a main unothrodox pulley installed. It came out and would not start! LOL

Guess the crank angle sensor does more good when it is on the crank and not in sitting in the passengers seat with the stock pulley.

I only trust myself and one other person to do anything to my cars.....exactly why I don't have that problem anymore. But trust me, I learned the hard way.

 

Me thinks it's time to find a new shop!
Why would anyone put up with this?

 

So everytime you bring it to a shop to have a problem fixed, an entire new one arrives afterwards? Thats so annoying when that happens. I've been there. Got any warrenties?

 

Power FC = rock stable idle

I wouldn't take my car to a shop unless something is really wrong and before I bought my car I didn't even change the oil in my daily driver. The forum has a lot of great info if your trying to fix things yourself.

 

you gotta be kidding me....LMAO!!
thats a good one!

 

I will never take my car to a mechanic again.
