Anytime the check engine light comes on, there will be a code(s) stored in the computer. Ask them what codes they retrieved. (get the code #, not what they think it means.)
What year is your car?

It is a 90 RS with a v-6. No there is no gas in the oil. I checked for that to. I figure these guys are giving me the run around because they think I am a stupid female. I also understand that setting the timing made it run better, but I agree that it has nothing to do with the lifter noise. I think they just dont want to replace the lifters because there is alot of work to it and they dont want to do a freebee!!!! I have a 30,000 mile three year warranty on the work they did. I also had a problem with the spark plug wire coming off the spark plugs, I finally did get new wires and did it myself because everytime I took the car back there was something else wrong with it. It seems like they dont want to stand behind the work they do, they didnt even clean up the engine compartment when they put the motor in. I think I will call them and see if they put a code reader on it. I am at a lose as to what to do I need my car and it has been there a week already, and as you can see I dont believe much of what they say anymore. What would you do? I have already put alot of money into this car and I sure dont want to get rid of it!
