And I Def am learning a lot already just by browsing through the forums here. And I csnt thank you guys enough for helping me out so far. I'm hoping it's just a simply solution of the o˛ sensors though.

O2 sensors are very important as is taking the car to someone who knows how to tune direct injection.

An update..the car has bee n at the dealership for a week. He said he wants his mechanic to look at it before bringing it to a tune shop. He said he believes it may be the fuel pump.. However, in the morning it's final going to the tuner and he diagnose it and tune.

other mechanic probably didnt smoke test it. Only way your going to see leaks from the intake. Nothing visible to suggest any leaks.

So, he tightened the hose clamps and replaced the pressure regulator and all seems to 'normal' now.
