Had p0018 confirmed after CEL/Slip/No Cruise, AC.
Dealer Replaced in this order, Oil Control Valve, Cam Sprocket Gear (Associated with p0018) and then the ECU.
CEL came on after each repair and stayed and has stayed off after the ecu replacement.
All was covered under power-train warranty.
Also, Toyota (if you have FRS as opposed to BRZ) has a policy where you get a free rental for any warrantied repair which takes longer than a day. (FYI) Was having hunting idle previous to repair as well (didn't see it as a problem) and this has since disappeared.
39K miles and no previous issues (2013 FRS)
I will also add I gave the dealer the Subaru TSB as they didn't have it.
While the service reps didn't KNOW if and when the fixes would work, it does appear that Toyota had instructions as to how to attack the problem.
It would seem that regardless of whether or not they admit it, they know it is a problem, and will fix it quietly when it happens.
