I'm curious why most of you guys are leaving your car at the dealership while parts are being ordered? Is it because the dealership won't let you take it back? Or is the problem so bad that your car is not driveable? Or are you trying to run up days at the dealer so that you can have a case for the lemon law? Or you're just disgusted with the car and don't want it back until it's fixed? Or something else?
My CEL came on yesterday with just over 2,000 miles on my FR-S (MT), VIN 7026XX. I've had mild RPM fluctuations at idle with the AC on, but nothing that I'd remotely call violent. It has never come close to stalling, although now that I've said that it'll probably do so on my next drive. With the AC off, the idle is just fine. I haven't felt anything abnormal with engine power or anything else in the two and a half months I've had the car.
All these horror stories of waiting for parts, then having them installed and not fixing the problem combined with my general distrust in dealer service departments make me want to just keep driving the car with the CEL until a definitive fix is found. Is anyone else keeping theirs away from the dealer? Is the problem so bad that your idle is fluctuating wildly every time you come to a stop?
