ok so I was driving and all of a sudden the check engine light, battery light, and rear tail light come on and i lose power. i pull of to the side of the road and i thought it was the alternator. i got a new one a few months ago so then i started to think that wasnt the problem. I texted matt (highnitro) and he said move the cps wires around and try it. i did that and it started up then when i rev to 2k it starts to make a noise like a quiet rev limiter sound then it dies. do i need a new cps? i trust matt just want to make sure i dont buy a new one and thats not the problem. thanks.
Need help asap supra is on the side of the road!

could it be the afm screws are tightened too much or are too loose? I don't think it could be the screws because i've been driving around with with the same adjustment for a few months and haven't had any problems. I'll check the afm when i can get a car to take out to the parking lot i pushed it in.
If the wiring or connector is a bit dodgy it will only rev to about 2000 then fall on it's face, I doubt it's the screw as it's been running till now.

Yeah thats what i figured. Answered my own question while asking it. So you dont think the cps is the problem?
Probably both as these cars are getting on...
Can of C0cleaner spray the connectors inside and out clip them in/out a few times and see if it improves.

I really hope its just the afm connector because i'd rather spend my money on a 3"dp than on a new cps
The CPS is a basic bit of gear it usually either works or doesn't, 9 times out of 10 it's the wiring/connector has been fried when some genius has removed the heat shielding around it.
I had the same problem, and still do. I wiggle the cps wiring and its fine for a while.
Now that I think about it, IJ do you know if Pheonix tuning may be able to fix that wiring?

You can still buy the pins/clips and connector bodies from Toyota, the clips come with short flyleads so 15 minutes with a crimper and you should be good!
