Default Car to Dealer due to not able to run right

If you read, I had problems with this car after making a Dyno pull last week. Took it to the dealer today after trying everything I was told by Dealers, Tuners, and others. Now get this. The dealer pulled the plugs and said they were completely fouled (14,867 miles). Put in new ones and she runs perfect. So far nobody has an answer. The dealer suspects I stayed in it too long after it went into safe mode on the Dyno. I tell you this only to help out if anybody ever runs into the same thing. Car is fixxed and I'm happy it wasn't worse.

Good that it is fixed. Mine is at the shop for the check engine light. Dealer just called me and said there is nothing they can do. It needs a new tune. I am getting the ud pullies put on and a new tune Monday.

Does it seem odd both of you are running Brenspeed tunes and having problems? I've heard nothing but good about them but this would worry me.

The problem is some of these so called turners have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Most of em have had no technical training what so ever on cars. I know i would definetly do some background checks and credientials before I would let someone put my car on a dyno.

This is odd as Brenspeed seems pretty damn reliable - not a crack-tuner as tooltime hints at [&:]
