I read somewhere, and was wondering if there was a bad ground somewhere. Maybe thats where the burn't smell was coming from?

I couldn't turn off my car and thought me engine was going to blow. I even tried taking the main fuse out, but it went back to that sound (like its trying to start).

The engine was really acting wierd this morning. The sound was loud and not consistant.

If anyone can tell me why my cars acting like this I would greatly appreciate it.
What you're describing sounds a bit like run-on, or 'dieseling', possibly due in part to leaky injector(s).

I'd guess your engine might also have a dirty/oily accessory belt, or a partially siezed a/c compressor?

Overall, it sounds like it could be a serious issue. You might need to take it to a shop (eg. Toyota)...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
