Default Reputable shop in the Spring Hill or NPR area?

My car is still screwed up, so bad now that after about 45 minutes of driving it won't go over 2000 rpms. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Dave, Tampa99GT, and I changed the fuel filter yesterday and checked the fuel pressure while it was idling and reving in the garage. Scott, you'll be proud to know I finally broke down and put a K&N in it and bagged the paper filter as well.

On my way home from Daves it started messing up about 45 minutes in. I'm thinking it's most likely the fuel pump. If it's not that a guy at a parts store suggested it could be the DPFE sensor. He said it's very common on 4.6's. The thing is I don't want to keep pissing money away chasing gremlins. If someone knows a shop that will diagnose it for me in this area I'd appreciate it.

what is your reason that archie sucks, give your reason why he does,
if you have or had a problem with the zex kit that he installed why didnt you just give the shop a call, no big deal ?

there's three cars in springhill with 20" foose wheels.two of them are new style,and one of them is older.
If this is the white one,I heard you were unhappy about it......what did he hack up?

Default Hack

I am the guy who had the zex kit hacked up.I called the shop no less then 50 times with no answer.If you want to know what was hacked up well the location of purge light, when i turned on the windshield wipers they ripped the wires out of the light.The wire that was ran from the T>P>S was laid on a hot motor an melted the location of the purge solenoid sucks .He also keep all the leftover parts that i needed to fix the hack job also there was a discount auto parts bag in the car with $15.00 worth of stuff in it an was gone when i pick up my car.As for saying i did it my self i may of said i should have done it my self because i had to fix it all.Maybe i should not of said the guy was a hack but it came out of his shop and that makes him responsible for the work.
