When to pull in my drive way and the car idle really hard (like it was out of gas) and died. went to start it back up it start but runs like crap and dies when it cuts off it makes this noise like when and bus or big truck stops its a pushhh sound. I called the shop back and they said its nothing they did the car ran fine on the test drive so i dont no what to do now

    Sounds like a vacuum leak. May be a vac. line disconnected or the intake manifold gasket leaking.

        The first time I took apart my upper half of motor I forgot to plug a vacuum line in, in the pack of the intake. I could start it but would die. Make sure all the lines behind the intake next to the firewall are still hooked up. Did the shop give you any sort of warranty? Souds like there blowing some smoke up your ***. :bs:
