"Fix" and "tune"?
What is broken that needs to be fixed and what kind of "tuning" were you expecting?

if the engine is randomly dying that could be a host of issues.

Uh, yeah.
Going to the dyno would be a waste of resources for you.

i think first you have to do is to see if you need to replace the spark plug/coil, if you have recently changed that, may be you need to do a compression check.........

and please be specific what kind of problem you have with your car...

You guys always have good turnouts, ideas, and get the BHR God's and MM out your way. I'm working on Nor Cal with a few other folks

But by the time I get a group together, my car will be done....

I'll come down and see you guys sometime this year..

Goodluck..
