High Idle Issues + Fuel Trim Issues

Alright so this problem has a great story to it...

I took my car to GM 2 weeks ago to fix a map sensor issue (p0107) Everything seemed fine when I got my car back but on the drive home my CEL went on again. I checked it out and now it was a p0106 error, again related to the MAP sensor. So I called GM and they said they would get me back in, but never called my backed. I called them a few times but never had my calls returned.

So I went in today and told them to fix it. They had my car for 4 hours and then called me to say they couldn't figure out the problem. Here's the kicker, they tell me that my car is idling at 2500rpm and that there were 2 other codes from my CEL( for fuel trim levels). Neither of these were an issue when I brought it in, I checked the codes that morning and there was only just the one.

I told them that it hadn't been having these problems when I brought it in and they basically just told me I was lying and that those problems were there already. They tell me they can't fix this problem without talking to a tech at GM and that it would probably take 3-5 hours to diagnose it which I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. I don't think it's fair for me to have to pay more just because they have never dealt with such a problem.

Anyway I was wondering if you guys had suggestions on what might be causing all of this. Right now my car is basically not drivable because the idle rpms would kill my clutch. Sorry for all the ranting but GM really just is pissing me off over this whole situation.

I have no engine mods except for drop in K&N, and I'm not tuned

That's kinda what I've been thinking might be the problem. Something to do with ecu or computer is just going crazy. I don't know if a simple reflash would fix it but I think I'll just have to take it to another dealer and see what they say

Seeing how this dealership has treated me, I wouldn't pass it by them. I'll take it in to another dealer, just gotta never stop driving, because I'm sure that going from 2500 rpm at a stop to first gear can't be good for my clutch
