It's a big part of why I like SM better than SF. There's an odd feeling of comradery
It has been around 100 in StL. A lack of adequate airflow over the radiator when the AC is on will cause your problem. Of course, you have to verify lack of airflow. When the AC is on, the condensor takes all the heat from the cabin absorbs it into the evaporator, then dumps it to atmosphere in the condensor. The radiator blocks the path to atmosphere. On most cars, not just the Supra.

CBF'ed? I'm unfamiliar with this acronym. Can't be fucked with? Lol.

Thank you for the explanation on how the system works.
alright so I've checked a bit online and the part number for the bottom under tray is 51441-14110 and it is available from multiple places online. It looks like it goes for about $155, which pisses me off because its bloody expensive, however it defiantly is something that I need to get.
I don't think it's your problem, like ij said it might be pushing you over the edge, but is not the main problem. All three of my supra were missing it. And never caused a problem. . It get really hot down here in south Texas. Hell of all the supras I've seen only one that I've know has had one.
In toyota lingo its an "undercover" http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=5102&P=1 $156 piece of plastic, but what ya gonna do?DOUBL3 D;1862357 said:

I think it might be what IJ said tho, as it only happens on the interstate. I'm going to look at my condensor and radiator while I do a coolant flush early next week and check it out. I will be getting the undercover just to be safe

I might have found a used one, either way I think it would be benneficial to bite the bullet and do it

I'm doing that on Monday or Tuesday, I'm going to rent a compression tester tomorrow. While I'm on there I plan on changing my plugs
Or... Pull the radiator back and see how much crap has accumulated between the radiator and AC condenser.

I'm gonna do that while I'm down there. I've only been driving it at night when ambient temps are lower until I get this solved
Alright sooooo I started my car tonight and there was a burning smell coming from under the hood along with some....wait for it......smoke! Not much but deff some.
I'm throwing in the flag and saying BHG
Please advise. I'm not driving as I don't want to scorch anything and fuck up the block
