Which guy? The owner? Is he paying you to work on his Supra?

I agree the maf configuration needs to be changed back to oem - this is a strong suspect as the first troubleshooting step to take. Although an AEM might fix the problem, that's like fixing a cut in your finger by replacing your arm with a robotic prosthetic. A whole AEM setup is $2500+, and this could likely be fixed with a few hours (or less) of troubleshooting with the existing setup.

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.
