*UPDATE* Need the experts
Ok.
At this point I am pretty much done with shops. I have had nothing but problems lately and they have not helped. Enough venting
I just got my car back (I am out of town at the moment unfortunatly so i have to deal with it when i get back.) and it runs way worse then when i took it in for a Headgasket.
Symptoms
Constant Misfire. It has a constant but not steady misfire at all RPMS.
Rough Idle. The idle is rougher then i remember.
Backfiring/Poping from exhaust under deceleration. Pretty loud sometimes.
No Power/Not wanting to rev fast. The car falls on its face. Feels good for a sec then its like hitting a wall as the RPMs climb, but they still climb.
Popping through the intake. I get a wierd pop from what sounds like the front of the car when I shift gears...its right when you apply the throttle from shifting, and the car stumbles real hard.
Also have a what sounds like a lifter tick from the driver side engine. Pretty noticable when the hood is popped
My oil pressure will not go above 35psi. doesnt matter what RPM your at....it drops to 25 at idle. It use to go up to about 50psi. It did not do this before i took it to the shop and was fine even after the blown HG.
I havent had a chance to look at it since i left, but before I left i checked wires/cap/rotor. I have not checked spark plugs and they are the same ones before the HG blow. other then that i will have to wait till i get back.
But just curious as to what you guys think.
I will be dealing with the shop also when i get back, but i am not naming any names right now, but i am very unhappy.

P.S. also, i guess the spark plugs are the ones from before the headgasket so i think they may be fouled.
Right now i know the loss of power up top is from running 42# injectors on a NA setup as I have not put the blower back on until i go to the tune....just wondering about the other stuff.
