I had a similar issue and it was my alternator. Alt was dying and wouldn't produce voltage over a certain RPM. Every light on the dash came on and it had very little power. Replaced the alternator and it ran like a champ ever since.

same here with my MK2.. took apart old alternators from a 90 celica gt & 95 Camry, made a good one with the MK2's & it runs fine now.

This is what I believe "IAC works when the engine is cold. once in operating temp it shouldn't affect idle..." Is this correct?

Absolutely not correct. Some engines work that way, just not on a supra.

Next time the car is at warm idle, pull that hose off and put your finger over the port on the IAC. Let me know what happens. (btw it should make the car die).
