Any 2016s still experiencing rough idle? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Da Brz · 10-12-2016, 01:28 PM

I was sitting at Sonic today with the car idling. It's always had a rough idle, but today it almost died. The engine pretty much missed and then came back.

I thought this was one of the early problems for this car that got fixed later on.

Anyone else with a newer BRZ having this issue?

Thanks. But those TSBs do not cover MY16 cars. Except for one and it seems to be more for ATs. Mine's an M6.

OFT.

Mine does that. I ran out of time during my last oil change, but I told the dealer we would be addressing it at the next maint. op. It doesn't do it all the time, just once in awhile.

Mine does dip and get rough on occasion, I haven't tried to get it sorted yet though.

It's a common problem that it dips to about 500rpm. Its "normal". Open Flash Tablet fixes it.

I had that as well and thought it was weird. Stopped after a few days and didnt think about it. I ended up getting a stage 2 tune so i havnt noticed it anymore.

My 2015 doesnt do that. The worst it does is dip close to 500 RPM when the AC compressor kicks on, but it never sounds like its about to stall itself.

2016 here. Owned for 10 months and haven't had any idle issues. Yet...

No issues on my 16 AT after about 4 months.
