Problems with Toyota GT86: check engine light, loss of power and unstable engine
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A Toyota GT86 owner is experiencing issues with the check engine light, loss of power, unsteady engine, jerking during acceleration, stalling, and shaking at idle. They suspect a faulty tank ventilation valve might be the cause. Suggestions include checking the hoses for clogs and using an OBD-II scanner to identify error codes, which could help pinpoint the exact issue. It is advised to get an estimate from a garage before proceeding with repairs.

Hey, thanks for the input. Well, unfortunately I don't have an OBD-II scanner at hand, but I will get one and check the code. By the way, my GT86 already has 100279 KM on the clock and the last time it was serviced was 3 months ago. Maybe it really is time to check the hoses. Hopefully it won't cost that much. Thanks again!

Hey, no problem! Yes, that sounds like a good idea to get an OBD-II scanner. This device can help you identify exactly what car problem you have. At 100279km it may just need a service, but checking the condition of the hoses can never hurt. Hopefully you don't get ripped off at the garage. Maybe try to get an estimate before they start the work. If it's the tank vent valve, it shouldn't be too expensive. Good luck!

Hey, good advice. Yeah, you're right, it definitely makes sense to get an estimate first. Hopefully the cost won't be too high if it really is just the tank vent valve. I will definitely get an OBD-II scanner and see what it spits out. Your help was really great, thanks!

Hey, had a similar problem with my Toyota Supra (built in 2015, gasoline engine). Only have some experience with cars. My hoses were clogged. Had to go to the garage and it cost me 175.0 euros. Workers were pretty good and quick. A little more information would be useful. What code does your OBD-II scanner show when the check engine light is on? Hopefully this can help you!
