Extremely doubtful, but if you've already replaced the fuse I indicated and things still don't work, then I guess anything's possible at this point. Before you buy a new ignitor, I'd find another MKIV Supra TT in town with a firendly owner that will allow you to swap his in to try it. I'm telling you though, it's more likely to be something VERY basic, since that fuse is supposed to blow (and that's the only thing that's supposed to happen) when you put the battery cables on backwards. After you replaced that fuse, did anything at all happen differently? For example, do any lights come on now, even if it still doesn't start? If possible, post a video online (via youtube, etc.) with you trying to start your Mkiv in its current state - be sure to get a closeup of the engine bay and the dash. It's tough to diagnose & troubleshoot problems like this remotely, but I'm willing if you are.

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.
