I have a backup car as well...but even if i didnt it is a new car that the manufacturer is required by law to provide a temp/rental car...so its not like you are actually out a car. Maybe im just used to dealing with older cars that have real/significant problems that actually prevent the car from being driven and are not covered by any warranty...i have always seen that as being part of owning a car.

What was done on the first service? Has the oil been changed yet since you bought the car?

We didnt asked them...we barely got out of our dealership and had to return our baby back to the dealership within an hour of signing paper!! Took it back home on the following Monday..Kind of babying our FRS until we took it out for a long ride to LA today from Temecula then the freaking CEL came on again!..We are going to bring our baby back to Toyota of Escondido even though we live in Temecula because Toyota of Temecula SUCKS!!sorry I am really venting because it is very FRUSTRATING!! Will keep you guys posted! And NO our baby is only barely 550 miles young and only Shell with V-tech because we are in SoCal!!

@YRUUR....We didnt asked the first time but according to our dealership it has to do with the electronic component something with the VVTI controller?? somehow it gets stuck in that position and shakes=(

The solenoid / oil control valve. I'm at 6600 miles so far so almost 1000 miles since my fix and all is well.

3rd Gear by QFry, on Flickr[/IMG] Run 1 with CEL/SL and in 3rd, Run 3 without CEL/SL in 3rd

[IMG]

4th Gear by QFry, on Flickr[/IMG] Run 2 with CEL/SL in 4th, Run 4 without CEL/SL in 4th.

Conclusion...the CEL/SL is doing nothing to alter the cars performance power wise. Thanks @virtual_bob at Drift Office for the great service! Now its time to give the car up to the dealership...

Edit: Corrected image URL and here is a bonus pic!
