It's the fan. Also, be sure to run pure, distilled water (no antifreeze). Use Redline Water Wetter as an anti-corrosive.

Regarding the miss, check your spark plug gaps. How old are your plugs? Are they copper, platinum or iridium? What is the heat range?

Next possibility is the coilpacks - how many miles on them. If not that old (less than 75k miles), purchase one brand-new one, and swap it out for each one of the six till the problem is fixed.

Of course, if your coilpack connectors (plastic) are cracked/brittle, they need to be replaced.

Last (least likely) is the ignitor. Swap it with an ignitor from another Mkiv Supra Turbo to test.

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.
