I changed the sparkplugs and finaly got it to idle right and now when i drive it just randomly cuts.

When i stop at a light usually idles good but lets say 1/10 outta each light i stop at it will just shut off once i hit the gas....

is this related to the code and were to i start to try and fix this....

Code 11 masks all other codes when it's present. First thing I would check is the ECU grounds at the intake manifold...remove the bolt and clean.

After that, clear codes by pulling the EFI fuse. Drive and recheck codes again.

Exactly how did you "get it to idle right"?

Replacing the spark plugs did it for me....

so im assuming that the ground is around or near the throttle body and i fucked it up when i took it off to do the spark plugs....

Grounds are 1 on the block from the battery, one on the head left side of motor, and one on the second intake manifold underneath with 3 wires on it. They all tend to get a little corroded.

Yeah, I know, but looks like he didn't. Wouldn't hurt to clean them all up.

What did you do to fix the code 11?

I would do like AJ said and clear the codes by pulling the EFI fuse for 30 sec. Drive the car and check codes again.

I cleaned the grounds and reset the ecu thats how i cleared it.....


but now im getting 22 and 52....
would cleaning the grounds work for that also..?

and would a short in my ignitor cord cause my car to act crazy...?

Yep, that usually fixes it ;)
Cleaning the other grounds will not help the remaining codes.

A short in any of the ignition wires needs to be fixed ASAP.

I would fix the code 52 after that...the car will run like crap because with this code present, the ECU pulls a big chunk of timing. It's one of two things:
- The knock sensor is bad
- Wiring to the knock sensor is not properly grounded. (most likely)

Do a search in the Articles section for knock+sensor...there's a guide on how to do the rewire. Or, you can PM Shaeff...he makes a rewire kit for the knock sensors.

Code 22 is the ECU coolant temp sensor...look at this:

I would check the wiring and connector 1st. This page shows how to test the sensor:
http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=FI&P=113

Basically, you heat the sensor in a pot of water measuring temperature...resistance should be per the chart. Key temps are 176 and 212 degs F. (normal ops range)
