I do realize that a lot of people swear by it, and I probably did just have a bad case with this older station, however that doesn’t change the fact that now I have to pay out of my pocket for something that should have never happened. > > I never said the car ran perfect when I filled up the next tank, I just said that it became slightly better. Honestly, I had no idea what the problem was, i SUSPECTED that it was the gas. I figured there could be water in it and once I clear it up, I’ll just fill up with good gas and it’ll all be good again. > > Anyway, I’ll see what happens tomorrow, hopefully they’ll have the car finished by then, I’ll keep you guys posted. Pavel just for that if you need help let me know, i can get those injectors cleaned and rebuilt for you for cheap if they are problematic. and anything else you need. let me know. ---

> [@Alex](#): > > i dont care if he has built a scale model b52 fortress america bomber out of tooth picks and double bubble, hes still ignorant hahha in all ohnesty bro, im not saying all dealership mechanics are retards But, you can only get to a certain point replacing oem parts and do re and re’s , where as a mechanic that does everything and does it on alot of cars will obviously have more experience, and to add to that be able to fabricate and do wiring and electronics and tuning. and also fix cars that other shops have hacked up eg the dealership. so what im saying is im not 16 and i do know what im talking about , im sorry if i offened you as a acura dealership mechanic but if you are being offended then that means some of the stuff i said is true, otherwise you wouldnt take offence and would laugh it off. either way Pavel i hope it works out for you with your car. Peace ---

^^^ Most missunderstood guy on SON? Pavel, it is hard to believe that the gas would be the only contributing factor. I’m sure if it was the gas, there would be other similar occurances. Maybe go by the gas station and talk to one of the attendants, see if there have been any complaints? ---

Here is an update: Got the car back 1 injecotr replaced, other ones supposedly cleaned 6 spark plugs replaced - i just said screw it and let them do it even though i had new NGK’s in there 1 coil replaced Supposedly they cleaned the head, etc Total cost $860 taxes in… they took away the diagnostics charges. The labour was about $350, so I guess not bad. The car runs perfect now 🙂 I’m happy again 😉 Thanks everyone for your support and advice, it cost less than what I was expecting, so I’ll just put this matter behind me and keep saving for a Merc. CL-S ps. The yellow GTI is FF, oh and so is the SRT-4 😉 ---
