I would be all over that place and the Atty gen should be right beside you. If they sold you a warranty then they should honor it. Not just give you your money back. At worse, call Judge Judy. It sounds like the type of case that would make for good TV ratings.

Here's the link to the motor:

well, Good news, The motor isn't blown.. I went out tonight and checked it out, the motor is fine, the oil pressure sensor was just stuck.. It now works fine, and the pressure gauge is working fine.. There is no knock.. I have verified that as well.. So, all I need is transmission and donut gasket for the exhaust..

148,000

Not too bad for a 2000... I may still tear it apart and check everything out, though it has no leaks anywhere I can see, and looks clean as hell.. I'll try to get some pics of the motor this weekend, besides, I like to use cameras, I usually can spot things in the pics that I didn't see out there under the hood..
