I had my head gasket recall done right after Christmas.

After I got it back, I could feel it missing a little. So I checked the plug wires and found that one wasn't on all the way. No big deal. Well, I could still feel it missing, so I took it back to Toyota. The mechanic that did the work said that was normal and if I replaced the aftermarket rotor, cap, plugs, and wires with Toyota parts that it would probably go away.

So I replaced those things. After doing that, it was missing so bad :cry:. I couldn't even drive it back to school. I came back home after a week and took it up to Toyota. Me and a buddy of mine that works there ran some injector cleaner through it and that didn't fix it. So then he checked the timing. It was WAY off. It was advanced really far. It was somewhere between an inch and a half to two inches away from the timing marks. We adjusted the timing so now it runs much better now.

When idling the rpms will move around a little bit. Sometimes when cold it seems to hesitate a little bit too. I can also still see and feel the motor shake a little.

My car just hasn't been the same since I got it back.

Am I just being too picky? I mean, it is a 10 year old vehicle. I don't really want to take it back to the dealership because I know that the mechanics hate "Come Backs" and he would just tell me everything was normal.

What do you guys think about my situation?

Thanks alot for your opinions.

Happy Valentines Day!
