Alright, first problem
1. No brake lights (all other lights function fine, bulbs are okay)
I don't have any brake lights, and the tail light failure light doesn't light up until I apply pressure to the pedal. This happened for a few days, and then my brake lights started working on their own. A day afterward they no longer work and the problem still exists.
I've checked the bulbs and wiring. I pulled out the yellow box on the tail light and inspected it for corrosion or soldering that had broken. It looks normal, but the junkyards near me have no Supra so I cannot buy one to swap in.
2. Starting problem
This problem has been plaguing me for over a year now and I have gone through 4 starters under warranty. The car will sometimes not start, even if I have just been driving and turn it off. It clicks and nothing. Sometimes it takes 3 key turns, sometimes it doesn't start after 50 key turns and I let it sit and come back to it and it may start.
Things I've replaced/checked
a. battery
b. battery wires
c. checked all grounds and tightened one that was loose
I'm kind of stumped as one day it will start without a hitch, and the next day I may be left stranded for half an hour. Replacing the starter does seem to remedy the problem for a couple weeks.
3. I was driving down the road at normal speed when the check engine light came on. From that point forward sometimes the car will cut out and bog down under boost. This happens anywhere from 2lbs to 7lbs, in any gear. Sometimes the car will not experience the bogging down, but I'd say about 90% of the time it will. The car has full exhaust, intake, and bosch bypass valve.
I've replaced the wires/spark plugs (regular maintenance, anyway), and I don't seem to have a boost leak as the boost gauge reads vacuum fine.
However, the car is pulling codes 12 and 34, but I don't have the money to go and buy these parts outright if I don't need to replace them.
Any help or experience with any of these issues would be greatly appreciated as they need to be fixed asap.
