Okay so I will start by saying that I've done a lot of searching on the forums before posting this.... I'm having a hard time believing that no one else has has this problem before :-/ but I found nothing quite like mine so here goes!!!
89 turbo 5 speed with just a few mods... When I first got the car didn't run right so my response was to put it back to stock so I could diag. Stock injectors are freshly rebuilt. Plugs and wires are brand new.
I just got my Supra back on the road after my fun little off-roading adventure... Less than a week of driving her and on my way to the bridge of the gods cruise with the Toyota syndicate group she started running on only five cylinders. I had driven to Starbucks and she was running great. I sat down, drank my coffee, got back in and started her up and that's when it happened. I got out and checked for loose connections. I limped her to Shawn's house and he helped me try to diag her. My afr's fluctuated around 16.6.
Pulled the wire at the coil and has spark on all 6 but no change when pulling cyl 3. Replaced the plug wire and plug.... Nothing changed.
The next day I went to work on her.... Fired her up and drove perfect. So weird!!! Drove her 200 miles since then and haven't had a problem until 3 days later.... This morning on my way to work. I stopped at Starbucks then got into my car and again!!! Only running on 5.... And AFR's once again at 16.6 .... With the early morn fin rush traffic I tried to pull over to check and see if it was the same cyl but by the time I got over to the side of the road she was running normally again!!!
I'm thinking maybe a clogged injector or something from debris that may have been dislodged from my accident?? But I guess I won't be able to pinpoint it until it happens again.....
I am kind if afraid to drive her as I do not want to mess her up even more.... And the leanness freaks me out too... I do drive slowly and without boost to the side of the road both times this has happened....
Has anyone has this problem before??? Any input/ideas/advice on what else i can try would be much appreciated!!! Thank you!!
Also, I should add here.... Already much thanks to jdmfreak for dealing with my phone calls, my panic and freaking out, and for helping me try to diag this. As always I owe you a ton and am does my Supra
