Make sure you are really hearing the crickets (search on y tube). Because it has a duel injector system, at times you can hear the louder and higher pitched injectors. That is not the crickets. Also, since your car is new I would expect you to have the latest ECU (which supposedly fixed the idle issue) and the latest fuel pump (suppoesedly fixed the cricket issue). |

mike_ander, FR-S, 2631 mi, 7088XX, 1 week (drove with CEL on, replaced ECU @TOYOTA dealer), TN Picking up son from school early on the 17th, had to idle/inch forward for 10 minutes or so...notice very rough idle at red light. Two days later, no symptoms, rev'ed motor up in town driving, threw the CEL-SL light. Took car in for two, one hour and half visits (one to diagnosis, other for ECU replacement). Picked up today. Limited driving so far, light is off. Seems to have more power...

I have been following this post and wondering if cars recently off the production line have had this problem fixed? It looks like they haven't. I just got my car at Christmas but have not been driving it since roads are snow coverd and icy. Should I wait until the problems crop up? Will they for sure? Can I get the reflash without having the problems appear or should I wait?

Update: Picked back up my BRZ today after getting a new ECU. No other issues noted. They did tell me the GPS TSB parts are on back order and should have by the end of the month. Cold out and didn't get to get a full throttle experience on the way back from the dealer. I'll test tomorrow, but so far so good, the CEL is gone. Hopefully I never see it again, this is the 2nd car afterall.

So, is this problem contained to just the earlier batches of the FR-S/BRZ? (e.g. fixed on all new cars coming out now?) I have a deposit on a 2013 BRZ and am getting a little worried after reading this thread...should I hold off until the 2014 models come out?

It's very hit or miss, some have had it some haven't. My FR-S has a manufacture date of 10/12, I have 2097 miles on it, I drove it spirited from the time I got it(after it was warmed up of course and after several load cycles), and I have had no issues to date. A lot of those mile were a trip from Eugene, OR to SLC, UT and back. Just look at the list and you can see what the average VIN range is, it's there for both of the twins. It seems that even those with issues have been sorted out for the most part.

I've noticed my RPMs drop to about 500, car rattles, then RPMs jump back to 1000-1100. This is the idling issue?
