Lol....

I'm off for a week. So I finally get a chance to check the car out. With it being my daily driver, it's hard to do much because it has to be ready to go Monday morning.

I just want to make sure everything is good with the car so I can install my AEM. First rule of tuning is making sure the car dosn't have any issues first.

Excellent advice; fix the known problems first before the possibility of introducing more problems by upgrades and performance parts. When people don't this, they never know if it was a problem introduced by the changes they made or a magnification of one of the original problems they failed to fix.

You would be surprised at the number of people who have initial problems with an engine and then throw upgrade parts and wonder why it doesn't run worth beans.
