I just picked up my car from the body shop. Not only does the paint look like crap the car is stuttering so bad that it feels like a four cylinder. The day before I dropped of the car I washed the engine and took it for a ride and it felt fine although it has been running a bit funny since I put it back on the road for the summer.

I disconnected the battery and when I get back home I'll see if that helps. Any other advice?

Thanks!

Paul

Since you mentioned washing the engine, are you sure there was no water in the plugs when you dropped it off at the body shop? I'd pull a couple plugs and look at them, just in case.

Regardless, this gives you a BUMP.

Thanks!

Tomorrow I am going to take a look. I took it on the highway after throwing in some Techron Cleaner. It's running a lot better but there is a lack of power. Maybe it's time for new plugs.
