Default Misfire/ Low Oil Pressue / Overheating

This is honestly the longest story ever a lot been going on. To keep it short and skip a ton of info. Car came from carvana. Went to shop 1 at day 3 of ownership for misfire issues and other stuff, when shop 1 said it was misfiring went to shop 2 (Chevrolet Dealer) shop 2 said it wasnt misfiring we fixed other stuff and i left and went back many times for more issues. 6 months later they said they found out why it was misfiring after my warranty is up. Anyways I take it back to shop 1 which is a performance shop. We threw a ton of parts at it ended up tuning the car and tuning out the p0300 code because they could not find anything. All I really noticed was maybe a little slow driving it when full throttle but not too sure and rough idle but always drove fine. Then few days later this is about 16 months in by now fill car up and idles rough and then gas guage drops to zero and says check fuel system. A day or so before that I had a p0174 code too come up. Im skipping a lot but went to shop 3. They also counldnt find anything and cleared codes and then I picked it up they backed it into something slightly I guess while it was there to so now its at body shop. A day before I dropped it off which ive always had this issue car seems like weak idle, also psi in traffic after getting off highway was 10 psi, temp 230. Really not sure what to do with this car anymore really looking for suggestions on a shop local to ORLANDO FLORIDA. I live in altamonte springs. I need another opinion before I take my loss and sell this thing. I feel like maybe its still a tiny slower than i would expect idk. Anyways I will list below what all has been done. there is still a few body issues to fix which sadly carvana sold to me without telling me. I have only driven this car a total of 1 month maybe in 23 months of ownership. Need suggestions on someone that can look at this thing please!Vac leak down test done

Sorry to hear about your situation…general repair shops, dealerships, and even “performance” shops don’t know how to diagnose cars…diagnosing cars require a whole different skill set that these guys don’t have…find a diagnostic shop in your area and take it there…I don’t know of any shops in your area so Google is your friend…throwing parts at it is bad because you may be building in a problem with some of the crappy parts out there…if you find a shop that uses a lab scope they can pin point your issue…you should have taken back to Carvana when you first had issues and if they couldn’t fix it get your money back.

Although I have not personally used them, I've heard good things about Elevated Automotive, 407-601-2886. They are located in the Lake Nona area.
