You can throw parts at it if you wish...personally, I would test it 1st:
http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=101

The problem could easily be the wiring and not the TPS...check wire continuity between VTA at the TPS and VTA at the ECU.

In addition, measure voltage between VTA and E2 while moving the TB plate from full closed to full open (ignition on). You should get a linear voltage increase as the plate is opened. Many times a TPS will develop a "flat" spot at ~1/3 to 1/2 open...this corresponds to 2500-3000 RPM where the engine spends most of it's time. It will show in the voltage test.

Childersburg AL,
Im going to test this as soon as I get off work tomorrow.
If this is the problem, is it as simple as running new wires to the ecu?
where can I find a wiring schematics for the ecu plug?
Once again thanks for the help

Childersburg AL,
today I was testing the tps,and checking the vta wire for continuity, buttoned everything up and boom problem solved no more stalling, took a easy trip around the complex, ran like a dream( didnt really push it).
I opened the hood and was checking some things, my tps was unplugged!!!!
I guess it was a bad TPS sensor the whole time. As soon as I get some extra money Ill buy a new one and this should fix my biggest issue...

Just for the record, source of my problem was a faulty throttle position sensor.
thanks everybody for your help

thats great. did you buy a brand new one or used?

Hey guys I have a 1988 turbo 5spd supra, Ive been working on it for some time now, The problem im having is the car wont rev past 2000 rpm.
the car starts fine, idles like a dream ect..
I have two CEL's TPS and Knock sensor
Ive done some homework but as far as i can tell neither of these should cause limp mode.
What will constitute limp mode?
My turbo is a modified CT26 with 3" downpipe and exhaust
stock intercooler and piping. nothing major.
Walbro 255
It has a Turboxs boost controller but it is all the way down.
my timing may be off some but nothing drastic(Im waiting on my friend and his timing light)
This is the only thing stopping me from taking it to be tuned and driven
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
be sure your reading right code one is for a knock sensor the other is for a knock sensor circuit i had same issue once rpm's go up car will retard your timing look on forums to see how to test sensor's themselves you have two of them if they check fine check the wires near where the sensor is plugged in, there prone to get brittle and break due to the heat off the engine hope that helps.

Childersburg AL,
I bought mine at the local autozone, some people may flame me for it but....
it came with like a 2 year warranty and works just the same.
price tag out the door was $65 bucks.
I tried a couple used ones, wish I would have saved the time and effort and just bought it new the first time.
good luck
