My car lost hp after the tune....not my big concern because he said it's safer now, but before the car rolled off the dyno it threw a code...misfire i believe, and he simply deleted it. Upon which i asked....will it be safe to push? He said, "should be?" after a pause. It was getting late and they were in lock down mode while my car was getting tuned...tuner was also getting calls from wife about dinner so i don't know if this was all done to be out and done with it. I took his word and went my way, but didn't feel really comfortable driving the car home. On my was home....i pushed it a little and instantly my check engine light started flashing. I slowed down.....drove normally for few miles then pushed again and it did the same thing. To which i thought okay....it's probably misfiring since ecu flashes checking engine light when it does. Next day contacted tuner and got no further assistance...he said he did his best and for any more work i'll have to pay????? Upon talking to few other people about the problem, they said the car could be knocking since my Engine management flashes check engine light when it senses knock. I grounded the car. I had a friend look at it.....who also had good knowledge. Turned out the car was knocking. He told me if i keep on pushing the car....i might as well kiss my engine bye bye. He also noticed few other thing tuner missed out. Don't get me wrong.....i have full respect for the tuner and he's a great guy. I went to him because he worked on the car before. He was in a rush to get home that day because it was getting late and he might have looked over few things in a rush, but i can't sit here with a car that i can't drive as i like to or loose my motor because someone looked over something.
LOL too much for "i'll make it brief."
