They should be doing a compression test, leak down test, inspecting the valve train and draining your oil, checking it for metal fragments, at the very least. Heck...they could drop the pan, baffle and check your rods/bearings from underneath too if they gave a damn.
redlined bad now not running right

So true, so true. Just look at some statistics comparing our kids to the worlds and it's shocking.

I look at the viper the same way..it's not sophisticated. Hell compared to most cars in 2010 it's passing with a D-...But the spirit and rawness of the viper makes it the dominant force of the production car world.
Correction. The Viper is a hand assembled car, NOT a production car.
Thats how I feel in reguards to your constant grammer/spelling querries..Means little to me[/QUOTE]
But it means so much to the people trying to understand you and HELP you.

My "moto" is irony will inherit the earth.
I mean as in regular production car. I know she's my hand assembled 80K baby. But she is a regular production car for sale to the general public that is streetable....And as far as that goes she is the current KING of the hill.
did you know that in 1996 a gts viper with it's 11.9 at 120 mph quarter mile time was the fastest regular production vehicle in the world?
Thats a true statement and thats what I mean when I say production car...Not a one off or unstreetable or not for sale in the US ect. just a regular production car that anyone can go buy from the dealer.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
cue that
stock tires guy... 3... 2... 1... 
just got in Abs wires (in yellow)...He also sent the high temp boot covers as well as oem spsrk plugs..I gotta say that the quality on Ab's wires is somthing else. They are beautiful..
So now Im waiting on a box to arrive from viper specialty with the new larger wire/loom holders...And ill take all that to the mechanic and let his go from there....
Still hopeing it's a plug/wire issue...But probally not

Preferably with video.
never mind..i went ahead and did it and they are very reuseable..
I learned after 2 hours of wrenching that their seems to be no possible way to get the valve covers off without removeing the windshield wipers ect.
So I was only able to inspect the drivers side and I saw no broken peices. The passenger side was just to much work and I gave up and put her all back together....
Interestingly on my gen2 I remember takeing no more than 4 hours to remove the valve covers and install roller rockers and put the valve covers back on. I dont remember there being this much hassle. Perhaps this is why rollerrockers are popular on gen1 and 2's but not gen3's...

Happened to me after hitting redline a few times on some spirited drives.
Car felt like it was running on 6 cylinders. When I got home I noticed the driver side exhaust outlet was black. Changed the plugs and no difference. Took it to The Wizard and turns out it was a cracked valve spring.
Changed it and no problems!

Do the compression test
My offer to send a copy of the repair manual still stands. Step by step instructions on how to do it.
I'm starting to think there may be some here that would recommend a compression test?
To me, this has been a long time. I would want the car running right by now.

Gawd this is painful from the sidelines...Worse than waiting for the results from a VCA raffle.
Well since he just posted another street racing video on VA of the car getting smashed by a civic, I would conclude the car seems to be running fine, or at least how it usually runs LMAO.

He already zipped her back up.
Took the valve covers off to "look around" without any plan to actually make a diagnostic inquiry of any kind.
But he doesn't have time to run to the Autozone and rent a compression meter.
He's waiting for the wire looms. That will solve everything.
PS, the dealer is stupid and can't be trusted to do thoughtful or rational work. And there are no trustworthy independent mechanics on Hawaii.
