Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 2. Clean Air Act Warranty Provisions (42 U. S. C. S 7541 (C) (3) (B))
The federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle makers to provide two emissions-related warranties -- a production warranty and a performance warranty. The production warranty requires the vehicle maker to warrant that the vehicle is designed, built and equipped so that it conforms with emissions
requirements at the time of sale. The performance warranty requires the vehicle maker to warrant that the vehicle will comply with applicable
emissions requirements as tested under state vehicle emissions inspection programs for the warranty periods specified in the law (for model year 1995 and later vehicles, the warranty is 2 years/24,000 miles for all emissions-related parts and 8 years/80,000 miles for the catalytic
converter, electronic emissions control unit and on-board diagnostic device). The performance warranty is conditioned on the vehicle being properly maintained and operated.
Like the Magnuson-Moss Act, vehicle manufacturers may not refuse warranty repairs under the Clean Air Acts performance and defect warranties merely because aftermarket parts have been installed on the vehicle. The only circumstance under which the vehicle manufacturer can void the emissions warranties is if an aftermarket part is responsible for (causes) the
warranty claim.

So what warranty is the lift pump under? Some have denied it saying it is not under the engine warranty but I believe this is a lie. Otherwise all warranty work would be denied on the lift pumps after 36k.
Do you see what I see? The ecm is covered until 80k at least.
