i know two things can afect a missfire when a tune up has been done with a electronic ignition wich is computer and coil packs. wouldent looking into the history of repair would the dealer just replace/fix the computer to see if that was the problem? i know that there might be anouther sensor afecting it but wouldent they just fix the problem and not make the chevy name look bad and not have people ever come back to them?

Below is one link to check `out on your warranty issue. There are many sites similar if you do a Google's Search.
I've read that your mod has to be associated with the problem that you car acquired. If the mod is not associated with the problem, they can not void your warranty...I suggest doing some homework & getting a attorney to review your warranty coverage...Good Luck

you know whats the wiers thing is kidspace. my speedomiter was off when the stingray chevy braught my car out with those 16 inch steel rims when i found the 17 inch aluminum rims the speedomiter red good. what i mean the 16inch it read 55mph when i was going 45mph. when i got the 17inch rims it read 45 when i was doing 45. how i know this there are three roads people have a tendency on speeding on neer me. i asked the sheriffs that were there mind didnt get pulled over. just wanted to ask if one could follow me up the road and back to see how off i was. with the 16 inch it was very off. that sherrif was cool to help me out like that how come city pd cant be like that? going with the 17 inch stockys again i know wont void the warrenty. and the speakers that were replaced didnt void them because they were profesionaly put in from stingrays aftermarket.there is no aftermarket outher than what was on the car when i got it i even asked when there was the deaper exaughst note will it void it even the service manager said no because i wanted to hear it from him to. so why would they do that i am confused on why they did denie me found out from a tech from bartow chevy and sting ray chevy there the same dealer with two different names. talk about convenent isint it

Monte07, I would ask the dealer that denied your warranty to put it in writing. Then I would seek out a attorney in your area that has knowledge is this area of the law, and have him call/meet with your dealership. Many attornies will take cases on a % and won't charge you for their representation. Especially if they believe that you have a case. How many miles are remaining on your warranty ? What part are they claiming violated your warranty ? Good Luck, but it's your move, decision. It takes time to fight, but like any fight...It pays 2 be prepared 4-Sure...Documentation/Evidence of Facts/Receipts/Names of Employee's involved/Time/Dates/Type of Mod's 2 your Monte.
It's not E.Z., but I'm learning nothing good in this life is E.Z. ~>4-Sure... Keep us updated on what you decide 2 do....

Space is right. The things you listed can not void the warranty. An attorney is needed. If money is tight you may look into options like prepaid legal. Good luck you are in the right here.
