Spoiling my driving experience.. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Can't even drive it due to CEL is on.. I have to wait till Monday for my appointment to do the repair. It sucks that I'm just seeing the car in the garage. I'm supposed to be driving it already until now having fun but

Waited for the car for 2-3 months but surprisingly these things happen.

What can I do?

Man this is scary. I just hit 5k miles. Hoping it doesn't happen to me. Even though it's going in the garage and won't be seeing a lot of driving. Only weekends

Good luck with everything bro

Good side is that I'm not the only one who had it and that person already have his car from the repair showing no signs of the issue. The only bad side is that I can't drive it! I still have two days till Monday comes! This feeling sucks! Seeing lot of other guys here enjoying their cars.

Thanks man! Can't wait to get my precious be taken cared off!

The CEL threw a code relating to vvti, camshaft, sensor.. Don't know the specifics until I get back to my dealer for all the parts and things to be done.

I'm working on a friends FRS and we're trying to find the software for the OBD2 connection. Can someone point me in the right direction?

You should consider yourself luck. I have an Audi and get a CEL every other day.
