I won't be naming shops just yet. I want to get this resolved. Went to the shop who did the labor today and he told me of a lot of the things the tuner did without me having to bring it up. The chain cover is coming off tomorrow to begin inspection

Default Btw

We fired her up today after not being turned on since Saturday and it did take slightly longer to start but it wasn't anything crazy. Small backfires as it started up but nothing too loud or crazy. Since the car was cold, initial idle was kind of rough but when it warmed up it idled nearly perfect (probably because of the slight tuning that was done) I didn't see any CEL but the tech did say they are intermittent, usually every second start after sitting for hours. We'll see what he sees tomorrow.

Default Finally!!!!

They finally fixed the dumb issue. They removed the timing chain cover and turns out there was a sensor at the bottom (off what I don't know, I assume cover) that wasn't seated properly. They're sealing her up and should be on the way to the dyno soon. Thank you very much for the help guys! I really appreciate it. If any of you are ever in SoCal I'll buy you a drink.
