If I'm sitting at a traffic light and roll up a bit, then slow down, it feels as if the engine kicks off. I haven't noticed a large dip in my RPM when it happens which is strange, but it sure feels that way.

What do you mean 'kicks off'? The AT FR-S I used to have once exhibited a weird behavior when I was stopped behind a truck. Every time I creeped up, there was a 'bump' in the drivetrain. The car was plagued with idle dip and inconsistent idle. The ECU replacement made it better, but the car was slowly getting worse again. I got rid of it and have a 4Runner now.

My FR-S was early production, I bought it May 31st. It was one of the first ones available in Canada.
