Idle issue? - Page 23 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Julio86 · 06-24-2012, 11:53 AM

This is what I experienced last night after coming back from Dodgers vs Angels game ( in which dodgers won ;D) it's pretty loud. What should I do? Call scion, take it to the dealer? http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...s/fefb7143.mp4

Well the idle is very low n goes down to 400 at times. The high pitched chirp is what is loud. The video didn't capture how loud it really was but lemmie assure you it's pretty loud n high pitched.

You can hear the chirping, and it seems the RPM needle keeps bouncing up and down at idle....at least that's what I think he's talking about.

Exactly hat I'm talking about. Obviously I Hit the throttle a lil but it was to show how low the rpm would go. N along with the chirping sound.

Yeah I guess I do see it bouncing a little bit. Mine isn't really bouncing that I know of. Just dipping well below 500rpm and bouncing one time up past 1k till it comes to a normal idle. Meh, guess its just a waiting game to find out if its normal, or needs fixed.

Yeah I hope there's a fix for it. I heard of some guy on This forum that they fixed something on his engine n now he has no problem so it should be fixable. I think we need more ppl to call scion. I will be calling tomorrow.

In the video you can hear the high pitched cricket noise. I didn't see anything wrong with the rpms. However the cricket noise is not normal. There is a thread about this in the engine sub forum. A lot of people are getting this.

Yeah it wasn't dropping as much as it does from time to time, but the video was more for the noise. I just want a fix already. Idk bout everyone else but it really bugs me to hear this specially it being a new car :/

Someone needs to get a hold of a scope and trace the chirping sound.

It's too hard to tell from the video if it's a belt, a loose pulley, metal rattling from inside the motor, a tob, a leak, or something else.

Scope it and you should have an answer to your problem.

***Is it me, or does the sound go away under load?

Do people with automatics experience this chirp? If they don't, then it could be the TOB like others have said.

Yes I have the AT and have the cricket noise. It seems to be coming from the right side of the motor if you are facing it.
