Clay1G,

I would run don't walk away from this mechanic. Don't let him do anything else to the car. Dispute the bill and the parts and ask for your old parts back. Don't do the dyno. If you've already paid by credit card put a hold on the charge until you get good answers. Just changing out parts without any improvement isn't the answer. The parts can be tested prior to replacing to verify if they're good, bad or marginal. Lastly, re-read the posts here, you have two well versed, well respected mechanics in Wayne and John Walker telling you this is not good work. Places like this help give repair shops a bad name or at best make people not trust mechanics. Good mechanics are worth the dollars even when it's really expensive, cause they fix the problem not just guess or go shopping with YOUR money.

PS what were the original symptoms, hesitation at 4000 RPM's? Have you checked the age on your O2 sensor
