Shawn. Just bring your car somewhere else and see what they can do. I'm sure someone can get it right.

I am just tired of the hassle, and pissing money into the car. I am riding my bike in the rain, and cold, because my car is not running. And the up time, is by far way less then the down time. I am just at the end of my mental bridge with this thing. The problem I am having right now, is that the car will start, and idle, but if you hit the gas, no response. At first, it would do it, but I would turn the car off a couple of times, and it would come back. But now it's to the point, that it doesn't respond to anything after 30 minutes of trying. It didn't start happening until I got the Haltech in, so I am not sure what is up. I am currently waiting on a response from Corr.

Call Haltech. I have several friends that have them (in S chassis) and everytime they call, they are always helpful.

You have a lot of work into that car to just sell it off at a retarded hit (look what engine parts sell for used).

I would invest in a good DD (2k), so you aren't riding around on the bike.

Shawn that car has huge potential with minor tuning or part changes. U put aton in it already. I wouldnt give up yet. Just try somewhere else maybe. Kind of like getting a second opinion from another doctor.

Well if I part it out, and put it as close to stock as I can, and then sell the car, I can make a good bit back, but not nearly what I put in to it, but I am ready to cut the umbilical cord. I thought about a daily driver, but I am too picky, and can't find anything that I like in that price range. Hence, the reason for wet ars, on the bike.

I don't have 8 hours to go across that states. I am not so sure it's a tuning issue as of now anyway. My car is simply not running. I am in the process of trying to figure out what it is.

Werd. There are plenty of people that have talked to Haltech or the guys from Injected Performance for help.
