ok i have a 1990 ea falcon s pack. just yesterday i spent 430 bucks under the bonnet on a major service and tune. to be honest she was running better before she went to the doctors!!! on gas it feels like it would be faster running on bloody apple juice!!! and foe some reason now it doesnt want to run properly on petrol!!! i have booked it into ultra tune for tomorrow to get the gas dyno tuned, the mechanic says this should sort it out...or is there something really wrong with my car??? please HELP!!!

My cat's breath smells like cat's food.
Seriously man, exactly what was done, plugs, leads, timing? Define not running properly, poor idle, flat spots? You get the gist? |

I could be way off but it sounds a lot like the timing may have been incorrectly set for your system.

$430 for that? shouldnt have cost that much $200-250max! i say since you paid big bucks to get the car done the joint you got the car done at shoulod be responsible for fixing the car for you, after all you said it was running better once you brought it in, services generally are meant to make the car run better not worse!

oh yeah i had the heater tap replaced and a heater hose aswell thats prob why it cost so much.
took the car to ultra tune today for the gas to be tested on the dyno.the mechanis said that the gas is on perfect mixture. he took the car for a spin and said that the timing was way way out.he told me to take it back to profix. so i got home and gave them a call and told them what was happening, he gave me a bit of lip but then i read out the service and tune guarantee that was stated on the back of the reciept of things they "apparently fixed" so he said to bring it back when i can. so ill go back tomorrow to get it re-done. [/U][/B]i have learned my lesson-*avoid profix elizabeth!!* |
