i tried to do it again but it wont go down like it did the first time.
so i'm not sure if that would be the problem or the trottle position sensor or something.
i'm gonna buy used idle contorl motor if i find one from sc300 or something hopefully it will fix it...
It's possible the problem is in your wiring harness. I'd suggest it's time to break out the multimeter and verify continuity and eliminate the possiblitity of shorts in the harness between the ecu and the idle air control (iac) motor.

I agree swapping the iac motor is another thing that you could try. I believe the TSRM has specific steps you can take to verify the correct (or faulty) operation of your IAC motor.

Disclaimer - it's VERY hard to troubleshoot problems like this over the internet, without having the car here in person. If you don't mind the exteme limitations of trying to troubleshoot like this, I'll stick with it for as long as you would like. Please keep in mind this type of troubleshooting could lead to some wasted expense and extra time for you. Using the TSRM would be one way that could be more efficient.

Note: The TSRM (Toyota Supra Repair Manual) has a comprehensive set of troubleshooting steps that covers almost every problem. It'll pay for itself several times over if you want to work on your own Supra.

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.
