any specialists around the Philly, PA area?

Anyone know of a good shop around the 08034 (Cherry Hill) zip code area? This is about 20 mins from Philadelphia, PA.

I'm kinda hoping there's a good Z specialist neraby that I can trust my car with. I'm tired of taking it to the local dealer cuz they're all full of it.

I was already referred to the following place in New Castle, Delaware, but they apparently lost their specialist.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My car's current issues are as follows:

- poor initial acceleration (bad "ping")
- slight "mis" on engine firing
- carbon build up on fuel injectors (Nissan cleaned it but it keeps coming back - fuel additives didn't help much either)
- performance enhancement / life extension desired

it kinda sounds like

well, it kinda sounds like it could be a couple differnt things the Ping on acceleration worries me the most that usually means the car is suffering from predetination (sp) the engine is hiting its combustion cycle while still in the compression cycle. Bad timing, a bad injector (can also cause the carbon build up) and im not sure but maybe the o2 sensor(s) have gone bad. Those should throw a code and probably pop your check engine light (im not 100% sure on that) Did you recently change your plugs in the car and did the car just suddenly start doing those things one day? Did the dealer inspect the timing belt i know you say your car is over 100k if say one of your cams is off just by one tooth you will get similar problems. I know this doesn't answer your question about a z expert in the local area, of that i am not sure but i hope it puts you in the right direction.
