4 problems. Worth taking to the dealer?
 

1. so I've had my engine idle dip for a while now and have read about it and have a fairly good idea of what is tolerable and what is not. I have had NOT had CEL yet but twice now i have stalled while idling. I drive a manual but i was not in gear either time. i think this goes beyond the "thats typical for this car"

2. MY fuel pump is just getting out of control now. it is so loud i cant stand it, and i know that subaru has the working fuel pump, has anyone been able to convince scion to replace their fuel pump with a subaru one, and if you were able to any pointers?

3. I really just noticed this today but my gas pedal is very loose laterally. If i really get on the gas I can feel it shift left and right, a few inches even.

4.Somewhere near the driver side tire i hear a squeak over speed bumps/potholes etc. any one else have this? If you are more technically savvy than I it would be much appreciated if you could point me in the direction of where the sound might be coming from because id hate the dealer to tell me they could not reproduce the sound.

If you have any feedback or suggestions id love to hear it.
Thanks!

Bring it in.

yeah bring it to the dealer... but make sure you take a good look at your car first.. they might ding/scratch your car up and dont let them wash it.. as for pump mine got silent then came back and i have not got it replaced knowing it would just come back its off and on:iono:

HELL YES you should take it in. And don't take it back till its fixed!

I read that there is a new part number in the "engine chirping" thread.

thanks will look into it.. still not a fan of going to dealer.. ill try other dealer this time still have to get my alarm program where i got my car and i cant go to other dealer to get it program and has to be where i got my car..im sure i can replace the pump at the other dealer.. im very pissed off at my dealer where i got my car:mad0260::mad0259:

thanks

What dealer did you go to?

poway.... stay away:thumbdown:

Thanks. I went to bob baker lemon grove & it was a nightmare the whole way too. Ruined my first car-buying experience. A few members said carlsbad is good though.

1. Without a CEL...good luck on this one. See if your VIN is in the range of the ECM reprogramming bulletin (related to coolant)...maybe that could be a start

2. The Subaru fuel pump is the same as the Scion pump...even the tsb for this one just replaces the old pump with the same pump design that exhibits crickets

3. ***This is worth having checked out. Safety issue here.

4. This sound could be almost anything...bump stops, bushings, strut related components,...have a tech put it on the rack to try and find the cause

yea the gas pedal thing really scares me. could be like one of those million toyota recalls from 2 years ago lol

I got the new pump installed last week. No chirping at all... For now.

It's actually a different pump this time around.

Wow lemon Grove too.. I ordered a one there but took long and found one in poway took it knowing it won't last long.. Then after 2 weeks of having mine. Lemon Grove called me and said my car was at the dealer :bonk:

yeah most dealers suck.. Im trying to call them for appointment to get my alarm done but I keep getting transferred/hold/answering machine then hung up. So heck with it.. They don't call back..they call me when I was at work and bugged me:bs:

The brake pedal specs say there should be 5mm or less play with 2 lbf. take it in.
