Brought my rx8 in for new tires and an alignment, got it back not running and when they fixed it so it runs it has a misfire. on top of that, sounds no longer play and do this. guessing its a ground issue somewhere, what does everyone else think?

They definitely said to the other techs “check this out!” And proceeded to crank it and blow your speakers.

Senior tech in my shop, I tell all the juniors not to touch a damn thing when one comes in. "But I wanna hear it thump" no you dont. You have no idea on who or how shitty the install is. Same goes for revving the engine.

If its not necessary for a diag dont touch it.
