Idle issue?

[Hawaiian]

1100+ miles with 3 fill-ups of 93 (mobile stations) it did it to me 2x today once idling in neutral, once in first. It had happened to me 2 other times that I had noticed, and probably a few times I hadn't.

Just curious for myself, are you guys hearing anything out of the ordinary other than low idle/possible misfire sounds. Particularly any mechanical noise (rotational, repetitive, constant etc.) We should be able to diagnose this ourselves or at least get close. I personally don't think its solely bad fuel. Could it be a manifold pressure sensor or idle control valve?

Yea after hearing from some that are already on new tanks of gas, it sounds like a different issue.

As for other noises, I honestly don't hear much of anything over the struggling to run kind of noise. Its very random. I have yet to notice any kind of pattern. If there is any kind of noise, I have yet to hear it.

I have not had this issue. I have had the car since 5/30. 6AT autocrossed it been nice to it and have gotten into it. No issues. Even went outside now and just let it sat in nutruel 650 rpms min. Put it in reverse goes back to 550 but that's it. Nothing weird so far. Sitting at 850 miles.

Have you been doing stop and go traffic? Mine seems to do it at the red lights/stop and go. I have around 250 miles and that has been most of my miles tho. It may be why I am seeing it so much.

but... WAIT!! wait for me to get my Raven MT, I signed the paper work May 14th and still don't have mine!! No more delays!!!

I do hope they get this fixed soon. there are a few issues that have been surfacing hope they don't delay the roll out.

That's 4000 total times viewed I'm pretty sure. I've bounced back here at least 10 myself.

Is it a gamble?

The reason why I'm not a 1st 86er is now showing up in these forums. My worst fear has come true, and I'm ready to buy now as in today but won't be until this shit is sorted out. I don't buy new cars to have them torn apart before the first 1000 miles, or 50-80k for that matter. Isn't that why we buy Japanese cars?

I do not believe for a nanosecond that they haven't heard or seen this issue on any of the Japanese cars that have been delivered already, or in initial testing. Bullshit.

I wish all of you luck in getting it fixed and taken care of, and am very sorry it is happening so early and to so many. I so badly want this car, but not if it's a mechanical turd. 7 years is what I need it to last.

I have the 'issue' but I have yet to stall or feel like it affected my launch so I'm going to just note it to the techs on my routine maintenance and not mind it. If I start stalling at lights because of it, I'll have them look at it.

For how the car is engineered, using direct injection, and whatnot.. I feel like this is somewhat normal for it to do (low rpm idle, jump a little, and fall back down). My Si would do this too, especially after I had the ECU tuned for performance.

For those having a problem (stalling out idling), it may be a mechanical issue that is past the normal tolerances. Someone mentioned camshafts, and possibly fuel quality. I personally think it's a tuning issue and has to do with how they are trying to burn fuel to reduce emissions. Again, the Si had rev hang issues due to it burning left-over fuel in order to reduce emissions. This could be a similar reason for the FR-S idling, I suspect due to DI at low load/rpm.

Is this only happening in the fr-s??
I haven't really noticed it, I'm 330 miles.
I stalled a few times but I think that was my fault.
I'm concerned

when I get home Ima leave the car idling to see if I can duplicate it. If I can I'll take it to the dealer. I have 500miles on the car and it only.happen to me in heavy traffic the first night I had the car. hasn't happen since. so I know it has to do with engine temp. maybe a derate mode it goes into to help bring temps down.

Alright so I called Scion today and reported the issue I'm having. I suggest others do the same. Its a quick phone call and the sooner we call, the sooner we may be able to fix this issue.

One thing, make sure you have your Vin on hand.
The number is 1-866-707-2466

You guys should take your cars to the dealership, if anything it will speed up my recovery but seriously this seems to be a major issue. I threw CEL's as well as stalling but they cannot recover enough information right now to do anything about it.

Any word yet on your car??
