Great news but no professional thought to try that first?
Reminds me of when I'd been having a problem with my Mini misfiring that progressively got worse over 6 months. It kept choking up under load, and over the course of the 6 months it choked under lower and lower load until eventually on the way up the hill out of Brighton on the way back from L2B one year, I couldn't get past 30 and had to pull off and call the AA. 6 months of investigation, asking people online, trying all these expensive remedies, I told the AA man everything I'd done, he nodded, said I'd done a very thorough investigation so far but I'd overlooked one of the obvious. He unscrewed the air filter, held it up to the sun, and he couldn't see through it. I took it for a spin sans air filter and omg I'd forgotten how fast that car was.
