I would suspect one of two faults - either the oil control valve is stuck on or the actuator on the end of the intake cam is not returning to the rest position at idle. The result would be way too much overlap at idle-hence the poor idle quality. I've seen this with Hondas. We had a bunch of bad VTC actuators which would not move freely on the end of the cam. The only other thing that could set that code is a stretched timing chain - highly unlikely.

Update: (7-2-12) Service Rep just called me to give me an update. Reaffirmed that Toyota Rep is onsite overseeing everything. Good to know that corporate is so hands on with these early issues. They are basically replacing everything that relates to the error code. So that includes new cam gears, sensors, valves, solenoids, and new ECU. If everything goes as expected my car will be ready by tomorrow afternoon. Toyota is going to keep all the parts and inspect them all to see if they can determine the issue, which isn't so reaffirming.
Basically it sounds like they still haven't found out what is causing the issue, and are going to replace everything in hopes that the issue will be resolved. Hopefully my old parts can provide some insight as too what the problem is, and they can find a quicker solution for all the other folks that seem to have the same issue.... I love being a beta tester for a 25k purchase!!! /sarcasm My friends all did try to warn me though...

Just another data point. I had the check engine light come on while doing my track day a few weeks ago. Friend had an OBD2 scanner and read a P0019 code. The engine was running a little rough and making a little more noise at idle than normal. He cleared the code and engine went back to normal. Proceeded to do 2 more sessions on track with zero issues, engine check light has not reappeared either some 300+ miles later. If engine check light comes back on and the symptoms reappear I will probably get it looked at, but I just attribute it to a glitch from running it hard on track for now... P0019 can mean different things, and a temporary condition could set it off.

I think that a possible concern in this case is that the ECU in the Fr-S is so advanced that it may have "learned" some aspects/features/functionality of an engine that isn't running 100%. I think most of us know that ECU's learn how an engine is running and make adjustments accordingly. The ECU may or may not be bad, but by replacing it they also have an ECU to inspect for a possible problem AND they can give the OP some level of assurance by replacing items that offer even a small chance of causing the problem. Is Toyota "shot gunning" this case by replacing all components possibly related, sure they are. If it was your car would you want to return 5 different times to replace each one individually, I doubt it. If they can find the problem from the parts removed, and the OP doesn't need to pay for any of the parts/labor than I don't see a problem here. I assure you that at this point Toyota is making the calls for this repair, not the techs at the shop. Toyota is deciding what they want to replace, the shop just pics the tech to work on it. And if it's any consolation, I would say they probably have one of their best guys on it. |

I can attest to this. My family owns a 2005 Corolla S. Last year it started acting very strangely and shifting harshly with a CEL. I had the code pulled at Autozone and researched the issue and everyone pointed to the ECU. I was pissed because the car was way out of warranty and a new ECU was going to cost a fortune. A couple days later while still chewing on this information we get a letter in the mail from Toyota saying there's been a recall and to bring the car in to have the ECU replaced. The next day the car was driving better than it had in a long time. Toyota. They'll do right by us all and I'm sure of it. They just need time to determine what the issues are, whether they affect us all, what the minor quirks are, and distribute fixes to them all.
