The last thing I would want is a so called "tuner" that can't troubleshoot an ignition problem, or a any other issues at that point. I means how's it supposed to work, take it to a mechanic to get something installed, then to the tuner where he says something is wrong take it back to the mechanic. Go back to the machanic who now has to figure out the problem, then take it back to the tuner. I'd prefur to have one guy that can do both. Maybe I just crazy in the head

No. Still the same. Compression tested 187 - 189 and leak down percentage was low.

I never said a tuner shouldnt be able to troubleshoot problems but it is not his responsibility. I used to do it all the time. I spent hours and hours of unpaid labor just to make a customer happy but did I need to do it? No, but not all people have time to fix someone elses screw up and in now way am i referring to your car christian, just in general. if you are paying to have a car dyno tuned and it starts having problems on the dyno, they best bet is to pull it off to avoid accumulating charges for dyno usage and simply rolling outside of a garage is not always the best grounds or conditions for troubleshooting unknow issues

This si so very true ..

This is the reason I have a box of 7's in my room and a volt meter ... I really dont like troubleshooting a car right before I tune it but some people have no idea whast going on and thats why they pay ..

Obviously on a dyno is not a good place to troubleshoot your car when its costing over 200 an hour to not even tune the car ..
