Now at home with a loaner awaiting the bad news...

So I gather they will try the following:

1) Blame the k/n filters, clean the MAF sensors, coin-toss if it goes away
2) Problem will return, then they will clean the throttle bodies and/or replace.

I have the extended gold warranty or whatever the hell it's called.

Never once had a single problem with the car up until today
Thats best case if the mechanics at the dealer know what theyre doing. Don't let them see your k&n's, that is if they dont blame it on the exhaust as one dealer said to me. They always find an excuse to not honor warranty.
