Morning all,
I have a 99 CV as well as a 2003 marauder. Marauder has a rough idle for which I took it to the dealer. They replaced my plugs, and idle is worse now than before. Initially it idled rough when cold and now it does it all the time. Plus my performance seems to have dropped. I have read stories of other vic and marauder owners whos dealerships mechanics have messed up their performance during tune ups. My marauder only has 700 miles on it but i am afraid if I take it back to the dealer they will mess it up even more. My guess is that the plugs aren't gapped right but I could be wrong.
I live in the Kansas City, Missouri area and was wondering if anyone knew of a good trustworthy mechanic who could do a tuneup on my car. Thanks for any help.

The plugs come gapped. Mabye they put the wrong plugs in all together? I don't know how old your car is but, some had a software revision that had the problems you describe. Cold idle problems and hesitation. This also caused the plugs to foul. Mabye have your software rev. checked? Watch them do it. Otherwise they may just tell you it's fine without actually checking.
