Had to send the Xcalibrator back to MPH due to detonation and after reflashing computer with original factory tune my car is running like s**t. Between 1000-1500 the damn thing bucks and surges. Seems like it is misfiring. Anyway I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow. Does anyone have a clue as to what is wrong? No SES lights either. Dealer said they would change the plugs and a tune up for $150.00 and if it doesnt fix it they will do a complete computer diagnosis for $95. I'm just looking for some possible solutions before it costs too much. Sorry for the long thread.

I never got a code when my car missfired. Check your plugs and cops.

How can you tell if your COP is bad? The dealer is going to change the plugs tomorrow so I'll find out if they are bad.
