If you decide to pour more money into it, this might be the better way.The service writer at Superior never tries to explain anything. He leaves it to the mechanic who is working on the car. In one way, that is smart on his part to stay in his lane. But, as you pointed out, the mechanic is backward in his explanation.
Now the new problem is that when I put it under load, meaning trying to maintain speed or conservatively accelerate going up-hill, it goes into a partial limp mode. The stop-start light comes on, making me think it is a voltage sensor type thing. I disconnected the battery overnight and reconnected it this morning and got the same result.
Any thoughts? The dealer had to flash the PCM with the new valve train code. I pulled that flash off and sent it to Magnuson and they sent me a new tune based on the new flash. It installed with no problems. The dealership cleared off any random codes that were still in the system and it drove like a monster half-way home. But the first hill, it limped the rest of the way.
