Do you have a check engine light? If you have a misfire on #4, it should set a light.

But, more to the point, you have to take it back who whomever "tuned" it up. Sounds more like he detuned it, and he's responsible.

For my sanity, please try to use punctuation and capitalization. I try to help the people who post, but it's impossible to do when the post is indecipherable.
