If you want an independent shop I really like Sunnyvale Foreign Car. Really good guys and they do quality work.

If you want a dealer... "hi".

What do you need done? Chances are unless it's something huge we can do it for you next week.

my car runs like crap especially when it hits 2.5k-3k rpm at 0psi. It just keeps on bogging down like there isn't enough gas or air going into the engine. It also gives out a p0171 code whenever i'm on the freeway going 70mph.

I talked to Greg about it already he said it might be the air sensors/MAF because i already got my injectors changed by you guys. I'm so desperate to get my car back to normal

http://www.obd-codes.com/p0171

A code P0171 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of "oiled" air filters may cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors
leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry.
* There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor.


Id start there. Do it yourself, its cheaper and so much more rewarding. Im sure there will be an install day coming up soon. Get the parts and bring it. Or if youre in the city, Id be happy to help replace it.

I know about the code. I cleaned the MAF, changed the injectors, fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, checked all vacuum lines, changed the pcv valve. I haven't checked the o2 sensors but when Mike datalogged my car he said they were reading fine and so was the MAF.
