Rough Idle/Stall/CEL/SL - next steps?
 
So, I just experienced the dreaded Rough Idle/Stall/CEL/SL issue that has a sticky thread in the main forum:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15577
:sigh:

7500 miles, FR-S, MT

Still covered under all sort of warranties

Anyone got a recommendation on a dealership/service center in the Bay Area that has experience with this specific issue? Or any recommendation on what I could say/do at the service center that will help get this fixed correctly/quickly? From the other thread, it seems like most dealerships try a bunch of fixes until the issue stops.

Thanks for your time!

ps: the slip light went away once i got on the highway

iirc Putnam Toyota in Burlingame was the only service advisers on the Peninsula I've talked to that impressed me. If you call they likely won't tell you anything until you tell them the CEL you will just have to set up an appointment and sit and wait through the normal process no different than when G'mas Corolla throws a code.

Try TD Garage in Berkeley. Kia there is super knowledgeable and his prices are really good too.

+1 for Putnam Toyota because the service writers are kind & professional and one of the techs have a supercharged FR-S :thumbup:

Really though, they are family owned so they more than likely they will not mess around.
