Subject:FI Mechanic in Southern California?

Hello-

Can anyone recommend a mechanic in Orange County able to fix the notorious
"intermittent miss, loss-of-power, stumbling" problem? I've been tinkering
with the AFM, CO adjustment, O2 sensor, etc. for months on my '86 to try to
fix this problem without success. I've run all the Bentley tests and
installed Darrell's digitool, with no success so far. But now I have to pass
a smog test, and I'm concerned that it might not pass. I would like to find
someone knowledgeable who won't just start replacing components arbitrarily
who can get it to pass the test and fix the stumbling problem (and hopefully
get me more than 15 mpg!)

Thanks

MTB
