Anyone here named John with a White FRS that is at Ray Brandt Toyota? The tech was telling me about it. Second one I've heard of locally needing an ECU replacement :-(.

LC Toyota has already swapped a camshaft and an ECU.

Mine has idle issues. Never killed on me yet, but will go really low and stumble back to a regular idle.

They all do that if I'm not mistaken. I haven't met an FRS owner yet that doesn't do that.

A friend who is a tech at Toyota of Slidell has stated they have replaces motors. Not sure how true it is, but I believe him.

If anyone is curios they do have a recall for the chirp the car makes at idle. As something to do with the fuel pump if I remember correctly.

There is a TSB out. I think you get a new fuel pump.

Yep. Have that and my new tails on the way. My right one has condensation in it pretty bad so they went ahead and did both.

Pretty sure there is a reflash out now that fixes that.

Not sure if anyone is looking but JK Subaru in Nederland, Tx had a cbs limited auto and a silver 6spd premium with the limited wing that weren't sold when I got there Tuesday to get my oil changed. Say Tad with all the Subaru's referred you'd and I'll split the referral kick back they have with you.

The reflash is the first resort. Both of these cars the reflash didn't work and still have CEL's on. The white one that was there yesterday, I was told will be getting its ECU replaced.

Did a DIY intake today and finnaly got rid of that stupid noise tube. Much better.

I have enough of the pipe to do 4 or 5 moar if anyone is interested.
