Try having one explain the concept of DI to you. Or the Otto cycle. Or how timing affects the temperature and speed of the flame front.
"Most" I get that concept.. As it applies to many things in life.. That's why they fix most things by swapping out components. Working thru the system,
You will eventually get someone who understands the issue..
I would compare the car to another one on the lot.. With the service manager, area rep there and show them the issue.. It should be obvious and undeniable if it exists. If its by design.. Then the number of issues cannot be hidden..
