Default what would u do?

Hi guy's I am having a problem and need some imput from you all. first of all this isn't a bitch fest (just so u know). I have recently gotten my truck dyno tuned at extreme horsepower in FT. Worth. 400 dollars later an it kept throwing codes (random misfire/and a undefined code), it surged really bad at stop lights, and would not re-start after it was warm with out pumping the gass . the problems got so bad that i could hardly drive it so I took it back to them and told them that I thought the truck might be rejecting the tune or something? they hooked it up and adjusted on the tune some. the truck still isn't running right, i still have the undefined code, truck idles 800 rpm's in gear(to eliminate surging), and it still won't re-start on its own. im not a wizz or anything, but this doesn't seem correct for only a cam swap, & now they want to charge me to fix the tune? please advise on what yall would do? thanks

Its either tune, vacuum leak, O2 sensor, or Fuel Pressure Regulator
If they want to charge for a retune I don't know that there is much you can do. If you go somewhere else you'll just have to pay them too.
Seems pretty crappy that they want to charge you for something they never got finished with to start with.
Idle is going to be the hardest to tune, but a reputable company that tunes for a living should know how.

Most people give free retunes for life and just charge for dyno time.

your first mistake was taking it to Xtreme HP... take it back, demand your money back... then take the truck to SQR and have it done right.
