Test the fuel pump relay for power with the ignition off... If they got 'creative' with hacking together some crap to 'get around' a problem instead of fixing it they could have killed any part of that circuit.

Did you try jumpering FP? (If not, DO SO)

I think you need to decide if you're missing fuel or spark BEFORE you start paying for replacement parts.

We are pretty sure is spark but today ill try jumping the fp. I'm picking up a scan tool from the guy tonight and ill see what codes show up.

We did test the ignitor and its getting power but there is no spark at the plugs. We are thinking its the distributor pick up that's bad.

But then again, we don't know anything about supras. lol

Ill try the jumping the fp today and let you know what happens.

Thanks,

Andy

So i put a wire from FP to B+ and the fuel relay stopped making its noise. We heard a noise coming from around the injectors? We tried to start the motor and it almost wants to start. What ideas do you guys have?

I'm picking up the scanner tool tonight and I'm gonna check it tomorrow and see what pops up.

Thanks,

Andy
