I've just fired up a 2jzgte swapped 1988 mk3 supra. It sounded like a mess, and I shut down when the check engine light came on. Checked the codes and got a 14, Ingitor/ingition coil, and/or ECU. Any advice or input would be great. What symptoms could this cause as well as what likely needs to be fixed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

When you throw that code on a 1jz its usually either a wiring problem between the ECU and the ignitor or the ECU itself is bad. Its also possible your ignitor is bad, but they rarely go bad. Check your connections from the ECU and ignitor, and open up the ECU and check for bad caps; even though its much less common on 2jz ECU's it does happen.

I tried two different ECU's, same problem. What all can I do to check the wiring? It's not frayed and it's all connected.

I have had an issue with mine (code 14)... found that when i move/hold the harness/connectors at the dash, the code comes and goes. I think there might be an issue with some wire not making a "complete" connection or a short within the plastic connectors. I have undone and redone the connections, soldering, etc, etc, etc. It has stabalized but whenever I mess around behind the glovebox, I risk having to shake the harness around, in order to get it to start again.
