Thanks ZTony8. I am going to do that. Will call them and see what they can do. When I took it into them for some other work, they didn't seem interested in dealing with it. Not without me paying, of course. :-)

Going to do a spark plug change and see if it helps with my fuel mileage. Don't know if it will help. Does anyone know or have any ideas on, if my MAP sensor is unplugged, no errors come up, and I get the same mileage. If that is the case, what is the point of having the MAP sensor? Maybe I just don't fully understand, so please excuse my ignorance.

I believe solman is correct about the expiration of the warranty.

If you're not buying the part, then you are not buying the warranty for that part. If repairs/replacements occur under warranty, it is only covered till the end of the warranty of the vehicle, the new part is then considered original w/ the vehicle.

So yes, if you purchase the part then you get the specified warranty for said part, regardless of age/miles.
