i just bought a 1987 supra with a 5 speed and a straight six, non-turbo. i dont know too much about this car. i checked all the fluids and air and drove it home... 16 miles. after i got it home, i went straight to work. changed the plugs, it took me 3 hours, but i finished. the glass in the back had a crack so i put a new hatch on it, i put in new high octane gas, replaced the battery, put in a half bottle of fuel injector cleaner, some dry gas, and some octane boost. i started the car and it was running beautiful. i let it sit over night and couldnt get it started again. i found out that i was getting juice to the ignition coil, but nothing was comming out, so i ordered the coil and replaced it. still nothing. i talked to one of my buddies to see what he thought, he figured my ignighter was bad. im waiting for it to come in. what else do you think it could be? id love to be out driving my car. if you have any info to help me please let me know. thank you.

Stop !! Don't just keep throwing $$$ at it. If you and your buddy aren't able to diagnose it, tow it in to a good shop that can.
