Cough, sneeze and fart

Your indie gave up? Hate to say it, but time to find a new mechanic or bite the bullet and take it to a dealer. If you gave up on it then ok, I'd say we could help...but you took it to a mechanic and he threw in the towel? Yikes. Sorry for your luck.

Need the year and the model. I had misfire codes on one side and sketchy idle after the electrical connector for the variocam popped off after I rebuilt the engine and failed to properly connect it in my 03S.
