Roll your windows up. Shut the doors. Go to the passenger door. Using your key in the door lock, twist the key to lock the doors twice. Now wait for 20-30 seconds. Now unlock the passenger door twice but do not open it. Now go to the drv door. Unlock it, get in and try to start it.

No go... Same results... If I unhook the PCM and plug everything back in would that help? Maybe like reseting it or something?

Forgot to mention... Make sure your hood and your hatch are closed before you try to reset the alarm using the procedure I gave you.

It was... I locked the pass door, then turned the key in the same direction again. Waited 1min, unlocked the pass door, turned the key in the unlock direction a 2nd time then unlocked the drivers side door. Then tried to start. Nothing!

Took the pink wire off the hood latch and jumped it with the white/black wire and tried to start and nothing..

Removed the ECU, reinstalled the ECU and tried to start and nothing. I honestly have no clue what the hell is going on with this car....

The Anti-Theft system has it's own computer so that wouldn't help you.

Okay. If you can not work on it where it is then get it home by either push start, jumper the starter or flatbed. Then...

Start here:
http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=BE&Page=85

Read the entire section (pages BE85 to BE102) then use the flow charts and diagnostic trees to track down your problem, assuming this is an alarm issue and everything else is okay. Let us know

I'm sticking by the statement saying that if the problem is actually in your antitheft system, then a push start WILL start the car! Get the damn thing started by pushing start, and go straight home, if you need to stop for gas, don't turn it off!

LOL, Thanks guys. Ill try to push start later. Ive got shaeff's directions on getting rid of the theft system. Im going to give that a shot first.

But first Im going to try the radio fuse. Read 86-88's would disarm the system by removing the radio fuse..

Got rid of the theft system by grounding the blue/orange wire on the theft ecu harness and it turns over now. Thank the lord! Dont know what I'd do if I never found this forum. Thanks!
