    if your o2 sensor is BAD re-enabling it won't fix the problem. Without an a/f graph you have no idea what they tuned it to. If it's 12:1 you won't pass. If it's 15:1 it won't pass.

    Are you sure they "tuned" it or did they just do power pulls. How long did it take etc. If it was tuned they should provide you an a/f graph so you know where your car is tuned to. Not providing that info is not informing the customer of the job/service they performed.

    They may have just forgot to put it on the sheet so I'd call them and ask for a copy with the a/f plotted

    The oxygen sensor is brand new, it shouldnt be bad... I know that it could be though. I was prepared to have the car on the dyno for 2 hours, since thats what they quoted me. I pulled the car onto the dyno,he goot in, hooked up his laptop to my ecu, checked all my vacuum lines in the engine bay, and all my wiring, etc. and got going; he first let it idle for a couple minutes to let it come up to operating temperature, and then checked the AFR and ignition timing at idle...then he ran it and did afr checks on my low cam profile ONLY, and then ran it a few more times to get the afr's looking better...and then he started moving around my vtec crossover point, and checking the afr's at the crossover point, and in vtec as well. But they ended up taking the car off after about an hour and a half, since no more power could be pulled from it on that day.

    And, can they still go back and pull my exact dyno/afr sheet, even though its been a few months since i got tuned? I dont know if its one of those things they would keep and save or not
