[alex86]

must be some electricals or the battery but no worries it is not the engine.

give us updates as soon you solve the problem.

There was a CEL... so can you pull the original engine code using an Actron scanner?
Maybe its the same/similar issue Whiteout_FRS ran into... then youre eligible for a free scion FRS + pacifying benefits...

Since the engine was not fully broken in yet, everything probably seized up. Depending on the dealer; I think they will try and plug in their computers to determine if you've eff-ed around with the car during the break-in period...(Correct me if I'm wrong, truly guessing here) and try to prove you in the wrong so they can void that warranty of yours.

Good luck with that...

The important thing is....do your friends think it's a cool car?

That's what's really important, right?

Let's get our priorities straight...

chances are your scion warranty will be terminated, any wheelspin detected above 60mph will automatically do that, keeping log at your scions black box. I woudnt bring the car to any dealership and just try to fix it yourself.

[FastLap]

Covered under warranty. Take to dealer, they will fix it. End of story.

Join the club. You're one of the *lucky* few that suffered a catastrophic failure. It shouldn't be related to your burnout. Call the dealer, get it towed, get it fixed. Should be all covered under warranty.

Here's the thread you should check out:

While the engine does get broken in at the factory, the rest of the internals don't. Your drivetrain, clutch, and brakes all benefit from a break in period.

It's rarely wise to do clutch drops and burnouts with a sub 100m car.

You live in NY. Just take it to a muffler shop. They'll probably be able to fix it with a hammer.

Here, let me explain... Because obviously you don't understand.

Assuming this problem is due to the fact that the engine did not break in properly, and the OP "peeled off" the parking lot at cold start...to amuse friends.

Engine that start up cold = thick oil = cannot get between the cam gears, piston rings and cylinder walls, and etc for proper lubrication.

So now you race the cold new engine that hasn't seat it's piston rings properly without proper lubrication; what do you get?

I'll let you figure that one out.

If you are racing the engine when there is improper lubrication to some of the engines vital components especially during a cold start... It could lead to engine seize. I'm just saying it's "possible".

If the 4000 rpm break in was so important why is it not listed in the manual? Why did my dealer say absolutely 0 to me about breaking in the car or a break in procedure?

I am following it, but without it listed in the manual there is no way they could deny a warranty claim for not following it.

Reading comprehension... I hear it's all the rage with kids these days.

If you look in the back of the owner's manual, in the index, you'll see "Break-in Tips" is on page 125. And right there, at the top of that page, you'll find this...

*New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1000 miles [1600 km])
The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions during the first 1000 miles (1600 km):

-Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 4000 rpm except in an emergency.

There ya go. Took me longer to type that than it did to find it.

P.S.: Oh, and as for your dealer not telling you about it? Wow... you don't have a lot of experience with car dealers, do you? Most of the ones I've dealt with can't tell you the engine type or drivetrain layout on the cars they sell.
