I did not have the knock when I got the car like, 10 months ago. also no egr vac modulator. After i replaced that with a used from ebay maybe a few months later it started.

YouTube - Supra Knock? This is what is sounds like. Only between 2000 rpm and 3000 rpm

Sounds like you are getting close to the heart of the matter spudz.
For every 1 thing you fix.
2 more are surely to break.

The only way I can get a leg up on my car is to work 3 days straight on it with no rest.

Then when I do rest and come back, the supra gremlins had made well oiled use of their time.
