Long story short, my computer has gone out in my vehicle. I had some general questions. For starters, would any of you happen to know of any reliable sources that rebuild computers? I've also tried speaking with several mechanics, and none of them know (including my own), so I figured I'd ask you guys.

I would assume that toyota used the same computer for their n/a supras 93-98. Do I have to have the exact matching year computer (94) for my car or would any of the computers from 93-98 work just in case I decide to not go the route of getting the computer rebuilt.

Thanks for any information you guys provide. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them as best I can.

These computers can't be rebuilt, unfortunately. Toyota hasn't released any of the schematics, so it's all proprietary.

Also, the '93-'95 are OBDI and the '96-'98 are ODBII, so that's one distinction. Another is auto vs. 5spd. So you have at least four possiblities, each very different than the other.

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.
