Default Reputable shop

I need to take the supra to a shop I can trust. Tuners edge is booked solid till mid next week. i need my car running right by monday the 21st. symptoms: idles poorly (misfires), and oil pressure gague is tached out (over 120psi). I think timing could fix the bad idle... but as for the oil pressure, i dont know.. please help. im in yorktown. looking for a shop CLOSE BY. so all those southside shops are a no-go.

your gauge stays tached when car is on? It's wired wrong then.. or the signal wire came off the sending unit and is gounding to the chassis somewhere in the engine bay. (causing it to tach out)

Check your vacuum lines and intake tract after the maf for leaks... that could affect idle.

c'mon man....

the second wire that leads from the stock gauge's wire to the aftermarket gauges wire ( yes i have two oil pressure gauges) was grounding out on the manifold. apparenlty, when i was adjusting the CPS, i knocked it loose.
