Barn Find (Kinda of) & Some Issues

[Chuck W.]

My wife's friend bought a new 1984 Toyota Supra in February of 1984. She drove it for 155,100 miles until 2005 then parked it in her garage. It has sat there since 2005. Thirty-five miles before she parked it she had a 60,000 mile service done. The car is in great shape. Her husband wanted to hang on to the car and after he passed away she kept it for sentimental reasons.

She has decided it is time to let it go. I offered to get it in shape and sell it for her. After sitting for 8 years I have some work to do. After charging the battery (it was installed new at the last service & held a charge!) & putting fresh gas into it, I got the Supra to start. It is missing badly and fells like it is running on 4 cylinders. I checked the spark plugs, which also have 35 miles on them, and they were good. I am thinking the fuel injectors may need to be replaced.

Any thoughts?

After a fresh tank of gas and a bottle of injector cleaner the Supra came to life. It runs great. So well in fact I took it in to get it smogged and it passed without an issue. If anyone is looking for a nice MKII, this is a good one.
