Default Crap, car runnin like poop, now i gotta take her to a shop?

drove my car about 1.5 hours down to freeport, now it has developed a miss, or somthing, and runs like ****. hasnt thrown a code, so i gotta find a local shop to take it to. i cant take it to just any old shop seeing as the pcm is custom tuned, and i have no egr or air inj. and totally illegal offroad exhaust. i found a lil performance shop that i always see off of hwy. 6 N. right behind the Master Audio. ima run it up there today after work....

sucks, but i dont have time to diagnose/fix it myself working fulltime, and having no other transportation.

Done any mods or maintenance to it lately? I mean ANYTHING?

Driven it in any huge downpours? Hit anything in the road? You gotta look at this from every angle and narrow it down to what the problem is, and how it may have happened.

well the shop is called A.R.D. and they seemed very well versed in the lsx's. after shootin the **** with these guys for a lil while i popped my hood, and after about 10 seconds of the shop owner listening to it, he found a vacum leak to be the culprit. after fixing it for free, i picked these guys brains a little while, and found out they're a pretty sweet lil shop. i am going there for my headswap in a couple months.

thanks for the input yall,
trey
