ok, turns out i'm not going to the dealership today. apparently i can't touch my car while it's on their property unless the tech is with me (liability issue). i can understand that i guess. they promised me that it will be the first thing the master tech does tomorrow. i'm calling them around 8:45am to get a status.. i would try to go in and be there doing it with him, but it's about a half hour drive and if that's not the problem, that's a huge waste of time/gas. plus i'm sure as a master tech he at least knows how to put in new spark plugs and turn an MAF sensor 180 degrees. updates will have to wait until tomorrow morning i guess.

as for the performance shop, yeah they just flat-out suck. no support from them whatsoever. "well if you want us to look at it we'll have to charge labor" "well if you want to go back to stock it'll be the same as the install price" "well we're ___s"

haha i haven't been able to sleep in for the past week and a half due to classes and visits to the shop/dealership, so hopefully i'll be able to. plus in all honesty i try not to get my hopes up anymore lol... not because i don't have faith that what you and dave hypothesized is the problem... moreso just because i've spent 2 weeks troubleshooting with no success, but lots of times where i thought i had figured it out hah

lol i actually got yelled at for installing a CAI in a dealer parking lot during one of their car shows. it was for a club member of the club im actually not a part of anymore, but the service manager came out yelling at me it was so funny. he was like "STOP WAHT YOUR DOING RIGHT NOW!" i simply replied (being a smart ___) "but if i stop now the car wont run and she sure as hell isnt gonna pay YOU to fix this"
