Almost 1,000kms after ecu replacement (now 5,600kms) and my FR-S idle was really acting up again tonight. With the engine already warmed up, when I turned on the rear defrost or fan, the engine struggled, the idle dropped to 400 and then climbed back up erratically. It would start going up to 900 and then down to 600. These are all symptoms it had before and quite frankly I was almost expecting another CEL tonight or even a stall in the parking lot.

I am trading in the car tomorrow, the deal is approved, but this experience leaves a VERY bitter tasted in my mouth. As a customer I feel like I'm letting Toyota off the hook for selling me a lemon car by trading it back and losing money in the process. I don't feel like letting them off on this, I feel like they owe me something for all this trouble and financial loss to get a vehicle that actually runs properly and is reliable.

I am pissed off!
