The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.

JFYI....so there's no confusion....I'm talking about me. Just realized that jduffy's little jab and my response could be taken the wrong way. To clarify: What I'm planning to buy is extremely foolish and impractical. But hey, it'll be our 6th vehicle for 2 drivers. No real need for it. |

I drive an AT, wanted to get your input without creating a separate thread on it.
Sometimes when I first turn my car on, when slowing to a stop I can feel something weird. If I drop it into manual mode, the car will actually shudder as I slow to a stop. If I'm sitting at a traffic light and roll up a bit, then slow down, it feels as if the engine kicks off. I haven't noticed a large dip in my RPM when it happens which is strange, but it sure feels that way. Also this only happens when the car is cold, and not every single time I turn it on. I don't want to drop my car off at a dealership for an undisclosed amount of time for them to play with it because I don't trust them to actually look for a problem, and not just drive it around for fun. I'd like to be sure there's a problem that's been addressed so I can walk in with enough knowledge to describe the problem, and the solution. ~Thanks |

Two days ago I called Subaru Customer Service and talked to a very nice lady named Elizabeth. She said she would try to get the ball rolling for me. Today I got a call from my dealership saying that my car was ready for pickup. A call to Subaru shortened my wait time from 3 weeks to 5 days. I just hope its fixed for good. |

As far as Idle dip, all I notice is when I first turn the car on it idles at 1500rpm, then after it settles it drops to ~600 and floats around there until I start going. Never really goes up or down more than 50rpms when idle (going on torque app data). Did yours happen all the time or randomly like mine? |

That is necessarily true, for various reasons. One, the development of this engine actually started as an EJ20 with direct injection added. I have one set of the prototype heads, as Subaru has been known to let things like this 'slip' out of the door. Secondly, having spent years as an OEM engine calibration and performance engineer (still do it as a consultant), their are numerous production gate levels in which both hardware, software and components are changing from prototype to production-like to production-level parts and all along the way, you'll find little bug and tweaks to get sorted out in the test cell and chassis. I am not taking away from the fact that there is an obvious issue but it could have been something as simple as going to production level GDI injectors that are causing the issues. So now they had the calibration engineers go back, hunt down the root-cause and make a patch to flash. It's actually quite common place, although usually bugs don't show up this soon unless the project was behind schedule and the marketing/$$ guys had already set a deadline and now engineering got screwed...I've NEVER heard/seen that happen -Micah |
