Well, I was hoping not to post in this thread, but you can add me to the list.
142. wotter - GT86, took delivery of it on 31/08, 1830 KM as of today (don't have the VIN nr by hand)
This morning I experienced a couple of rpm drops. Normally, the engine idles around 650 rpm, today it dropped to 550-500 a couple of times, and then returned to normal.
This has happened two times in 1700KM, but this time, is was more pronounced.
When I went home after work, I was at a red light. Suddenly, the same thing happened again and CEL/SL light immediately came on. I took it straight to the dealer (was only 8 KM away). Car was in limp mode when the lights were on (almost no power above 3000 rpm, slow acceleration).
Strange this is: dealer isn't aware of this issue (launch date of the car was 1 Oct, I got mine on 31 Aug, so yeah I'm of the first people here). He said one of the democars from another dealer had this issue as well. I told him this is a known problem with the car (ECU is the culprit?), and that it is all over GT86 fora. They will update me tomorrow about the car. I REALLY don't have a good feeling about it...
I was just enjoying this car/engine, now that the break in periode was over
Temporary car: Corolla AT (loool - getting another one tomorrow).
Will update regularly (hopefully tomorrow as well).
*edit: I just followed the manual for the break in period: first 1600 KM, shifting below 4500 rpm
