Switched over to E85... Hope it starts today! 43F out right now. I looked at the tune in RR and there are 4 more tables than all the tutorials show, plus it's in C not F, so I was hesitant to change anything yet.

Cleaning the engine bay. I have a bunch of parts removed and cleaned and did the timing cover so far.
Somoniz aluminum wheel cleaner works great but smells like horrible!! I'll mask up next time. |

It doesn't really take much to clean it. I like taking things apart to see what's what.
I'm also doing so polishing while I'm in there and may do some wiring tucking. It'll give me an idea on what I want to do next winter. The combined engine/body harness drives me crazy... |

Put some sound deadening in the trunk - I was chasing a rattle coming from the rear and started removing elements to eliminate them as potential sources. Didn't find the rattle (think it's coming from the outside ), but thought I might as well put some insulation before putting everything back together.

Drove from Long Island NY to Delaware and back yesterday (nothing more fun than a long road trip in the FR-S). Take a quick trip today then on the way back upon turning on the ignition I get CEL and Slip lights (never had that before). After inconclusive OBD scanning (P0018 & C1201) and research I dis/reconnected the battery to see if it comes back.
Car is completely stock and 44k mi. Fingers crossed. Inconclusive because the P0018 is indicative of a crankshaft problem and C1201 ECS malfunction. On this site I've read threads about this and changing out the ECS (which didn't work), engine work, slip sensor replacement, and etc. I don't want to spend $150 for a Toyota tech's best guess. |

From what I read here that's what the Toyota techs do: change the crankshaft position sensor then the error may/may not go away. Then when it returns they change the ECU. Then after that they take your camshaft apart charging you $$ every step along the way until you get a $6k bill at the end. What a pain, this car has been trouble free (minus crickets/condensation in the tail lights/leaky cam plate) but being babied and with so few miles I didn't expect a CEL that keeps coming back. With zero warranty left would I have better luck at a Subaru dealership? These engines aren't the servicing nightmare of a rotary but I don't want to finance guesses. |
