I had something interesting happen today, hopefully relevant. I was on my way back from the grocery store, and got a code. Hooked up my reader, it says "catalyst system efficiency below threshold". After talking to a couple people and reading online, consensus is that it's either O2 sensor(s) or catalytic converter. 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.
