Sounds like its toast, tell you you what, I'll trade you my PPW 03 for it straight up

But seriously why would you trust a dumb *** to tune a car of that caliber? Tow that b*tch over to function and have them figure it out.

Du du dum.... Super Dave to the rescue!

Seriously take it to them they know that car in and out and will get you running but DO NOT continue to drive it. Have someone tow it or rent a trailer from uHaul and take it there yourself either way get it to them asap.

Dont worry about the newb questions we all start somewhere!
