How old are you? you're writing like a 12 yr old.
mind to use some paragraphs ?
you sound young so you got ripped off, big time.
Right after you drove out the lot (and ur problem did not fix) you should ask for a refund on ur plugs because that obviously was NOT the cause and they just bullshit you, you're protected under consumer affair laws. You might want to check.
and yes I think 99.9999995% of the users on the forum knows that Emission Warranty is 80,000 miles / 8 Years.
For your reference : Brand new Plugs all 4 could be found online around 80 bux, 4 Brand new Coils about 100, Brand new Mazda CAT cost like 1200~1300

Wow............just wow! 
When writing into a forum to ask questions, it's always helpful if the person or persons on the other end can actually read what the issue is.
All that being said, I think you should locate another dealer. I wouldn't go back there at all.......ever.
I'm assuming you bought this car used? It has nothing to do with your issue(s), but you should read your manual if you haven't done so, and continue to poke around here and learn what you can.
Good Luck!

You're cute so all is well. The cuter the girl the more she can be forgiven for. I personally don't have a problem with the way you write. I got bombed one time for a lengthy write up the one time. Hopefully you got the information you need and ignore the ******** that are seemingly becoming more abundant on this site.
