I suppose I'll join this club finally. VIN 08052, 2.7k miles at the time of purchase.

CEL + SL light was on during my initial start up in the dealership parking lot, you'd think they wouldn't sell a car with a CEL already illuminated, but because I used this out of pocket dealer I couldn't exactly take the car back.... (this was on Friday; it is now Tuesday). I bought the car through a small company that delivered it from Chicago by truck to me here in Va. Beach. No idle dips yet....

I have an appointment with Checkered Flag Toyota right by my house tomorrow morning at 0800.

I've already put about 300 miles on her, and the cricket chirp just started yesterday (Monday) when I got home from work and was rolling my windows up. I barely heard it at first but as most of us know, once you notice it; it practically haunts you.

I spoke to an advisor this morning about this issue to double check their techs on hand have already become familiar with this issue and they actually have another FR-S there right now for the same reason.

According to the advisor, the only FR-S' experiencing idle fluctuations that have actually stalled multiple times are those with aftermarket intakes.

Can we confirm/deny this? Has anybody stalled multiple times without an aftermarket intake?
