Wow I would love to hear a employee at a dealership say that. I would go out of my way to see he's fired for lack of knowledge

Yea i really didn't think it would make a difference either. I don't see why he the guy try to bullshit me out of like 3 extra dollars.

No more ideas on how to fix my problem? I've tried everything i could think of.

Have you had a chance to check for codes? If you don't have a scanner, you can still see if there's any saved codes with a paperclip and pulling the light blue plug from under the passenger side dash.
