hmmmmmm........ did you say that the exhaust had backfired too?

No, it never backfired. It just began idling extremely rough, and clunking as it ran. Weird thing is i disconnected the ISC started it, it idled better, small amount of clunking, but at least it wasnt dying. Later on, I put the connector back on and it kept running ok.

It seems that when its warmed up, the engine just cant live, i would assume this is due to the BHG, but I also believe I have a vaccuum leak based on what others are saying, or a hose is borked somewhere, or not connected to the right place. I will hopefully getting it to a trusted mechanic soon...thanks all for your help...sorry i am such a bother.. >_<

my first engine had thrown a rod in the bottom end and had a BHG

it would run ok while cool, which didnt last very long due to coolant not flowing through the system... lol

After it heated up the engine would just stall out as soon as u stoped, would continue going long as u didnt let off the gas lol. But it made knocking noise

so it has the real problem during closed loop.....thats when Fuel Mixture goes stoich....... let me know what you find

Yeah until I got mine fixed it smelled pretty strongly of gas vapors when running. Well best of luck to you on your endevor. The light is at the end of the tunnel. I was standing in your place not too long ago. I have a Haynes manual for that supra if you need it just let me know.

Hi, I've just bought a Toyota Turbo Starlet. Had the car thoroughly checked out before purchase and it was good. Just drove it home and it has just started idling inconsistently and jumpy. When accelerating from stopped it makes a put-put noises up to 1500 rpms and really stalled acceleration even when you put your foot down, then it regulates at about 2000rpms. Running really rough and feels like its going to die - any ideas? I don't have a fortune to spend fixing it, so rather worried!
