Funny that they didn't check the simple reasons to why the car is running rough.
That is exacly what I said to them, and the fact that it took me all of 30 sec to find the problem.

Nah, it was outlined on the service report and they claimed it was the catback exhaust not the fact that they are retards.

I would have asked them to explain to me why they felt the catback was the culprit? I would then have commenced to ROFL in front of them.

The lesson here is pretty obvious. Dont give your car to clowns unless you want a good laugh.

I did ask Dave, they said the reduced back pressure stopped them from setting the idle speed...... um no..... forgetting to attach vac lines will though.

Just remember kids, you can't polish a turd.... but you can roll it in glitter.

Are you sure....I'm pretty sure it's because you have a BOV.
