the radiator fan will work even the car was just started.

At first I was trying to ignore it, but car has no power at all, and it does unbelievable shake if I drive it.

however, if the sun comes out, these will all go away.
I have took it to a garage to get a diagnostic code, but they told me car is all good, has no problem, This almost drives me crazy.

can somebody tell me what wrong is it?
I am very appreciated.
1) The garage you took it to sucks. If the check-engine linght comes on, there will be a code stored in your ecu.
2) What you've described seems to be a tough problem to diagnose. Perhaps a sticking idle-air control valve?

I'd suggest starting by reading your own codes:

I'd suggest you should also check for boost/vacuum leaks by pressurizing your charge-air system.

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.
