Normal. The world is motivated by money. No offence but you don't have any. The shop owner sees a car that has at least one problem and potentially thousands of underlying problems. He is running a business and wants to make that business successful. Jumping into a car thats a quarter of a century old is not a wise move.


Either he's a good mechanic and sees the other problems you don't or he's a good business man and sees the lack of viability in working on your car.



Just wait it out, thats my advice.


He's not charging you shop storage fees right???? If he was that would make him a jerk and not a good business man or good mechanic.








EDIT: oh I just read you put an intake on it. Yeah, get your car back he's not gonna touch it. Thats no shade at the mechanic, mechanics run from aftermarket parts on old cars.



EDIT Mark ii: Did the problem start when you swapped the intake?
