Yes Code 51 is both AC & TPS - Will do checks & Thanx so much for the help from your first hand experience...
Have a great weekend ~!

Deleting rusted out Muffler, the rest of Stainless Exhaust in good shape - Searching thru the docs that came with it: Car only ran about 10K Miles since 2008 when soft Falken Tires were installed (might have another 10K Miles left in them) - Oil last changed in 2013 about 3K miles ago - Looks like I may be 3rd Owner.

Picking up my '87 Supra tonight. Had an '84 many years ago and always wanted another one.
135K estimated miles as the speedo stopped on the seller over the summer. Body in good shape except for a rough spot under the driver's door and behind the left front tire. But it is a CT car so winters aren't good for them. However the underneath is rust free (as far as I can tell so far), but I chalk that up to his leaking valve cover gaskets and dripping power steering line. Both part of my weekend "take ownership" projects.
As for the nonfunctional speedometer how hard is that to replace. I have read there are two cables, one long and one short that are available. Also that the speedometer not working is causing the O/D light to flash.
