going to need a little more info then that, like the years a good start, also im not sure if my scaner even hooks up to the Supra or you have to ground pines in the dignostic port, but there is a port on the front just after the battery, it could be somethng as simple as on O2 or as bad as an intake leak, some newer modlues will have more sensors in them to figure out whats going on, i would say take it to a shop and have a mechanic scan the car and tell you the code, sometimes you can but those cheap code readers at the cheapo auto store, those sometimes work but are mostly not wouth the money.



mind you my snap-on motus scaner id worth.............like 10,000..........im glad my shop picks up those bills.

you can jump pins on the connector on the service port and the check engine light will blink telling you the codes. Get a service manual on how to do this, plus it will tell you what the codes mean, and possibly how to fix them.

yep read the diagnostic in the faqs and that will tell you how to do it and what the code means and how to repair

get a bit of wire, put one end in T and the other end in E1, turn key to ign watch the blinks... count them... then relay them back here

sorry.....i got a 87 supra turbo from canada with the 7mgte motor.....with 5spd
