Will the motor even turn over. Or was it just stumbling on its face. What shop was it taken to.

I actually drove the car about a 1/4 mile from a stop to the gas station staying under 2000rpm. It felt like it was hesitating.

Then I let it idle in at the gas station for about 10 seconds and it was barely idling at around 500rpm.

I took it to Fastech --------------------> sponsor.

Doesn't sound like anything drastic Kumar. We'll get it sorted out.

i vote broken spring...I threw a rod...errr...3 or 4 actaully, and I've turned bearings before. You would know if you did any of those things. Really sounds like a spring broke or a coil/plug combo isn't firing.

since its runnin relatively alright while idle, and you could drive it that 1/4 to the gas station, you most likely didn't do anything so drastic as snap a rod. most likely a spring or two.
