Overcharged?

here's my problem.i dropped off my car in December with a friend of mine that is a licensed mechanic.He to this day can't fix my car.He has performed a computer read and a compression test on said car.Like I said he hasn't fixed it.He wants to charge me a $100.00 for the tests.Is this not a little steep for a couple of tests?

Re: Overcharged?

At today's labor rates that's just 1-1/2 to 2 hours work.

What's wrong with the car?

Re: Overcharged?

On a 1994 Buick Park Avenue Ultra.it rotates but won't start.already replaced ignition module,cam sensor,crank sensor,new plugs and wires.had acouple of ideas what was wrong but I took it to this guy because he had a computer to check everything out.I am relevantly knowledgeable about cars I just don't have a lot of the tools I need to do certain jobs.Anyways, any advice would be helpful at this point.

Re: Overcharged?

Here's my top three things to check.

Spark at each of the three front cylinders. Checking all three eliminates most coil & ICM problems.

Fuel at the injector rail. Best checked with a gauge.

Fuel injector pulse. Can be checked with a node light or 194 light bulb.
