if your extended warranty covers the drive train...and the PROBLEM turns out NOT to be a normal wear and tear item...like plugs....it SHOULD cover it.....but then if you are under an extended warranty....they differ...and you may need to check into EXACTLY what your warranty covers....and what it does not.

The fuel-filter-looking thing under the floor near the bumper is part of the evaporative emissions system

No, it is not. It has 2 fuel filters, and both of them are inside the fuel tank built into the fuel pump assembly; they are accessed by removing the bottom cushion of the back seat and removing an access cover.

I'd ditch the Bosch +4 plugs first, then check the filter.
Those plugs are a waste, and probably have caused some carbon buildup - you might be in for a valve/combustion chamber cleaning.
I'm not trying to start up the long-heated debate about "superior" spark plugs. But I can say it's the cheapest place to start - go back to the stock NGKs and see what happens - I'm betting you'll run better, if not like-new.

WHAT??
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think thats crazy, that the p5 doesn't have an inline filter.

What I was thinking was the fuel filter turned out to be an air filter for the charcoal canister.

a went to autozone and ran the obd2 scanner on it and it said cyl 3 misfire. We pulled the plugs and were like 
(the plug looked brand new still at 40Kmiles later) we stuck it back in and it keep doing it. SO i pulled the plug wire, tore it apart, managed to put it back together and BOOM it started working again.
