Wow, I feel for everyone that's dealing with this problem. I just got all caught up to current on the posts from beginning to end. I guess that's the hard knock life of getting a first year car. Time for debugging to get all the kinks out from real world usage.

Car idled roughly today and almost stalled when coming to a complete stop...
LED DRL blinked off and then back on...

No CEL or TC light on yet...but keeping my eyes on it. Seems like I've got the symptoms now...

I see you have good humor, without that, what else is there to live for?

Maybe we need a "12 Days After Lemon Law" version

Or perhaps something that will make you smile for what it is

I'm sure everyone needs cheering up experiencing the issue...I promise not to post any other videos past that one.

Looks like we are still gunna have fun with it all in a way.

Skywgn1 · 10-10-2012, 01:31 AM

I have had the idle dip at stop lights and thought it was a little annoying for the past two months. Heard about the reflash and talked to the Toyota dealership who said they haven't heard of any issues. I'm kind of glad they didn't because if I had the ECU flashed I might actually have bigger issues. I think I will wait. Anyway, FR-S VIN 702165 with a born date of 04/12. Not sure if there are older ones here but would like to know.
