(its obvisous the exhaust was clogged internally) for the overnight and the reflash and a set of spark plugs and 4 hours of labor which i felt was really really fair. so sometimes thinking the most complicated reason something is doing something is not always correct you have to take a step back and look at each car and problem as a step by step procedure to find what the cause was we all like to come up with a theory of why something does not work and try to make it fit the problem but its hard sometimes to give the correct advice without being present in the shop or knowing the cars history ! needless to say the customer has the car and is very happy and the problem was repaired in a step by step manner of logical trouble shooting procedure. i want to thank everyone on these forums for their advice and effort to help a fellow enthusiast a very happy holiday and a great new year and although i may not agree with mrc all the time i d like to extend my hand of friendship to jullian as we go forwad into the new year and wish the guys in that camp a very happy new year also i want the same for sharrif and all the other shops and sponsors that support this z &g community thank you and happy holiday...vinny ten
