Engine Cutout at full boost?
My engine cut out only at full boost as if it is not getting enough fuel. The engine has less than 30k and the wiring harness was replaced by a donor harness less than 15k ago. Problem is new and I'm sure what the problem is, fuel pump, computer, relay??? No mods and rebuilt turbo 20k ago.

Sounds like you're hitting fuel cut. Are you showing any codes?

Engine light is on but no codes flashing, the previous owner said the engine light has always been on and after MANY times in the shop to find the issue with the engine light always being on it has never been able to be turned off. If there is another way to pull codes without looking at the check engine light please let me know.

Don't suppose your car has the Super Monitor does it? Super easy if it does, but most Supra's don't have it (even 87's and 88's, pretty much the only years it was offered). If not, here's a link to walk you through the process...

I think Toyota put a big smear of dielectric grease across the terminals at the factory. Every harness I've had or seen at a junkyard has a white or brownish paste in the terminals. You should not have to clean it all out to jump the terminals and pull codes.

All those sensors are in the same general area on the exhaust side of the engine. Check to see if the wiring could be fried. Check continuity from the sensor plug back to the ECU. Bad ECU's are rare but do happen. I suggest checking wiring first then check if the sensors are good. Have you cleared the codes recently to ensure these are not old codes? They'll stay in the ECU memory until reset, even if all is well now.

I pulled the EFI fuse for five minutes from what I read on this forum and that was suppose to reset the computer, is that also the way to clear the codes?

You only need to leave it out for 30-60 seconds to clear the codes and reset the ECU. You can take it for a drive and check for codes again. Fix these codes first and also check for boost leaks. The hose coming from the bottom of the turbo and the coupler right at the throttle body and 3000 pipe are two common leak locations that can be hard to spot. You say full boost, but what PSI are you hitting? Stock boost gauge?
