Help!!!
I have a problem and do not know what to do at this point. I had a cam installed and full exhaust with a dyno tune. I contacted the shop that performed the work, and I told him that the car tries to die at a stoplight with the brake on and while in drive. The car idles down to 450rpm and throws a code, which he says is a low idle code. So, I purchase the EFI live Autocal with the new tweaked tune, and go to install and it shows error code $035B. So now the shop has closed down and all phone numbers have been turned off and no response to my email. The car is a '12 Grand Sport A6. What in the world can I do?
Thanks in Advance!

Well, if the shop has closed its doors and no more phone service, sounds like you will need to find a new shop that can retune the car. You could also contact your local government consumers protection department and see what they can do for you.

Call your credit card company and dispute the charge.
I would go to another tuner even if it means a little driving. Who knows what else if off? Take any dyno sheet with you and cam specks. It's the air/fuel that could get you. Did u get a dyno sheet when he was done. Just make sure the engine is not lean.

I did! They were a vendor on here and had many positive reviews and now I am stuck. I did my research and I have had many other modified cars, but this was my first Chevy to modify. I love the car just need help to figure out what to do.....

[QUOTE=Don-Vette;1591252326]Wow!! Forum vendor, I'd rat them out in a minute. Good luck.[/QUOTE
Well they are not in business any longer! I just hate to drag a name in the mud! No one can do business with them any longer so I feel like there is no point... Maybe I am wrong..

I would call them out as a Forum vendor. Save others from the nightmare. Never know when they may pop back in business somewhere.
If they are still up here at all they can respond and clear the air.
Where are you located?

There have been a vendor or two who have returned. I would bet they are on a short leash with the forum mods/owners to an extent. For that reason, I would first contact Jim "Savewave" and tell him your case before you call out a vendor.
As to your car, you sound you know what you're doing, but WADR you could be messing up whatever was the tune. All I can suggest is you find another very qualified tuner, and get your car there. And hope they can crack the code and hopefully you won't have to buy another ECM.
Good luck and come back and tell us how it all turns out.
