NEVER GO TO A DEALER FOR HELP

OKay, so last thursday while driving to school my car broke. I started accelerating from a light and all of the sudden the car lost power and was heisitating and missing. I finally got it speeded up and it started doing the same thing around 50-60mph. I pull into the nearest parking lot and put it in park. The RPM's started jumping over 1000 while sitting in park. No SES lights or anything came on. So after getting the car taken to my mechanic, he had no idea what was wrong. He tested everything supposedly. Now he is telling me that my TPS is broke and blah blah, and that I may have to buy a new TB. I was then told to go Royal Pontiac on 23 from a friend because they supposedly "knew" what was going to be wrong. I get there and they are dazed and confused and have no idea what there talking about.

"You broke your car from putting on these intake manifolds and everything else. This is whats causing your car to have these problems."

So I asked, pretty much then thousands of kids who have put headers and a catback on there firebirds broke them too? I left soon after. Like come on, my lil sister could of given a better diagnosis than that.

/sigh
