Eh, you might be in a tough bind then. Should have asked them what made them think it was supercharged. Not saying you should have agreed with them when they asked if your car was recently supercharged. Just saying, give them as little info as possible or do not give them a straight up answer.

Add me to the list .. Cel code p0018 and slip light not quite 12,000 miles .. Codes came on leaving work today in stop and go traffic . Car seemed to be running fine, however after reading through this thread and seeing all the posts about the car idling low or dipping that rang a bell . I asked about it when I had the car serviced and was told it was normal for it to drop that low . Maybe 550rpm .. So I guess off to the dealership I go . LAME

Just out of curiosity, not gonna be able to take my car to the dealership till Monday or Wednesday .. This is my DD so I gotta get to work.. How bad is it to drive the next few days ? And will the dealership have any way to know how long the code has been on? Thanks guys !!!

So cars at the dealership ( Scott Clark Toyota & scion in Matthews NC ) service lady that's handeling it for me is super friendly .. They said that they haven't seen or had this issue with any other cars yet .. And running the diagnostics say that the ECU needs to be replaced .. Also they noticed the crickets from the fuel pump so that's being replace as well .. Unfortunately the ECU will take several days to come in .. Arrrgh!! So for now they have me in a fully loaded Pathfinder ! And trying to get to the beach this weekend so hopefully I get my car back before then

I call BS about them not seeing this issue on any other cars yet. The car has been out for 2 years now. And it seems, even though, only a small amount of cars are affected, that every service department should have seen one by now *shrugs*

Side note, I would think the Pathfinder would be nice to take to the beach, aside from the gas. Also, takes a Scion to get it service. Gets a Nissan as a rental /lolwut Every time I took my Cobalt to get serviced, I was always given a Chevy. All 5+ times (no exaggeration). Got to drive a V6 Impala for 3 weeks Put about 900 miles on that car and gas was just as bad, even though I was using regular instead of premium.

Hahahaha damn I did say pathfinder .. My bad I meant a Toyota highlander .. Lol would be kinda bad to get a Nissan loaner from a Toyota dealership .. Lol . But also must agree on the BS @Eurasianman

Just got my car back !they apparently got my ECU in late yesterday and had it installed this morning !!! All seems good.. Customer service at Scott Clark was impeccable ! If anyone in the charlotte area has issues go see Shirley in the service department ! She was great ! And hopefully this will resolve the problem

Looks like my car is getting a new motor under warranty. They were able to figure out the damage was not my fault

Hello!
I will join the ranks of the Knights, now sad in February started in my car as I drove off the nykimistä2000 appear slight rpm at a steady speed, growing stronger and stronger the twitching became kilometres until about a month ago ignited in a cel-main page-GIMMIE lights, traction control, and, in addition, the Navigator tutorial language changed from Finland in English. Ecu:ssa was a RaceRom between the engine and the map and trigger a fire extinguisher all over again many times and also the crusecontrol vaihtelin between the setting of the trigger several times, in the end, once again, the starter on the engine and all the lights were off and the engine was working normally but the twitching is left, and that was the one time only. The next time, helped only fault codes removal, but the longer the cel-etc. Lights out is taken if it is done to reflash or flash the original map.
The idle speed is also between the rises and falls and a short acceleration and after stalling engine makes it easy to either shuts down or the sounds of three cylinders.
The original maps: ZA1J700G and ZA1J701G have been tried but there are worse than RaceRom already RaceRom that the idle speed is 750 rpm and the original 650 rpm.
The changes that have been made prior to the air intake system, the cel: GReddy Pulley Kit, Lightweight Alloy Lightweight Chromoly Steel Flywheel, Uprated Clutch Cover Assembly, Uprated Clutch Plate, Carbon Fibre Propshaft, Borla Header, cat, the NFB Miltek metallic race resonated the Primary Cat Back and Perrin oil cooler.
I went in for service even though RaceRom was inside, and I'm not 100% sure whether the engine no longer warranty because the case is still ongoing, I got the ZA1J700G flash check which only can read the fault codes that had already knew that only the vvti thanks for always welcoming Adrian Smith Fensportilta. Care the only measure was to remove the fault codes and send an email to the manufacturer and is about three weeks.
If I had had the original map, would be a Toyota service updated the ZA1J700G which, according to them, is the latest in which they have, well, Finland is aloof as the backyard behind a wasteland.
Lets see how it goes.

Sorry! Microsoft translator is not much better than Google translator

Today, Toyota service called and told me the answer that came from the factory with the service are advised to act according to the instructions, or I will take my car in for service and they are investigating the VVTi.

Get to see whether something more than "light therapy"

Contact your tuner and see if they can update your ecu software?
