14 is Ignition signal, I don't know about this one and doesn't seem like a problem to me so I think I will clear it and see if it comes back.

42 is Speed Sensor, I'm pretty sure the speed sensor is on its way out just due to how its been acting and from what I hear is a common thing to go bad.

I just got to figure out a way to keep the check engine cluster from losing electrical connection.
Regarding the speed sensor signal, it's possible the problem is with the oem odometer cluster. Note these instructions are for the USDM-spec Mkiv-TT:
  • Remove the dash trim that houses the Odometer, on the odometer harness find the pink wire and cut it then splice the pink wire with the blue and red VSS input wire.
  • First try resolder the cold solder points on the board.

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.
