Yes, compression test it, do a block test, look at the oil and coolant, do whatever you can. And if you have a friend who is a mechanic get him to do a leakdown test. Then youll see if the motor is up to par or not with compression. And if you can, run it on an exhaust gas analyzer (emissions test). Thatll tell you if something is wrong with the FI. Even thou supras are notorious for failing when something goes bad but then running great when its all ok...
