Since O2 sensors are directly related to fuel delivery, I hope there is a relationship to the throttle response problem. However, I have almost 40k miles, so I've passed the 36k warranty. So my guess is that they are going to say no, it's not a warranty fix. IF that's the case, F**K them, this car is GONE. No reason for EITHER of these to go bad with less than 100k miles.

Easy, federial law requires the maker Nissan to keep your car in emission standards for 50K. Dealers dont want you to know this, it includes cats, O2, and any codes related to them.
Give it a try, I had had friend get a new ECM after the car would not come out of limp home mode. Out of 36k warrenty (under 50K) but could not pass emmisions. Only snag may be the Florida has no state inspection.
