because right now the car isn't starting, i start it up yesterday day it started fine then later that day it didn't want to start. the start sounds fine but it doesn't want to fire up. The codes its 43-starter signal and 52-knock sensor signal. How should i fix theres issues????????????????

52's common enough. The wires running from the knock sensors to the ECU degrade and cause too much signal loss... that's the most common reason for that code anyway. One or both of the knock sensors could be bad. Do a search here or over at SupraMania for "knock sensor rewire"... there are a couple walk throughs posted. This code may be solely responsible for your idle issues... and once corrected the car should run better in all cases. This code causes the ECU to add a lot more fuel and pull a significant amount of timing as it operates in a "safe mode".

The code 43 is another thing. having any trouble with your starter? If your starter functions fine and you're not push starting the car this code is, again, most likely due to faulty wiring. I'll post more info for you later, but basically you need STA at the ECU should be at 12v when the engine is cranking... if it's not the ECU can act odd in a number of ways.

i was looking around and it might be the alarm that disable the engine, cause when i lock the car, and then open it back up the alarm goes off until i put the key in the ignition, i don't have the factory key so i am guessing that might be and issue to
