It doesn't sound pretty whatever it is.You should have it towed home before it gets taken to a impound.I doubt your gunna get it going again without some wrench time.Sorry about your luck

Supra2NR · 11-25-2006, 04:54 PM

it workd after it cooled down and it happend again on my way home
the car shuts down everytime it heats up

there's two places that the smoke is coming from
underneath the turbo
and in front of the engine right by where the fan is

car has a high idle of 1500 rpms

I had an engine spin a bearing once ,and it would only run when it was cool.Apparently the heat expansion would lock the engine up.Mabey you are getting something similar in your turbo.As with anything turbo related from me ,that's just a guess.

I've had similar problems to where my car would only start when it was cool and it would shut off when it heated up. The problem was caused by distributor(coil).

Supra2NR · 11-25-2006, 06:15 PM

yea but when u had the problem, did it include smoke coming out from under the turbo?

redmaro · 11-26-2006, 05:02 AM

Nope, no smoke under the turbo.

Supra2NR · 11-26-2006, 10:45 AM

right now, im trying to work out the code issues out
then, ill get to the turbo

now i see why he gave me a repair manual with the car
cuz i would be using it pretty soon
