Hey guys i need some help as the subject states... i have an 87 7mgte that my friend gave me and its not working. When it stopped working with my friend he was driving it and it suddenly just stopped, always wants to crank but doesn't start. He then gave it to me because he was done with it, i love the supra and i thought i could fix it, now he had a shop replace a few things and so far it didn't work. These include the ignitor box which had been rebuilt and two working ecu's and two working cps's supposedly. I then got the car and actually replaced the whole wiring harness out of my old supra that was working, tried three cps two that i had with my old supra and worked and one i grabbed from a junkyard. As well as my old ecu and another friends ecu. I changed all of those out because whenever i try and crank the car it pulls a code 14. So the only thing i haven't changed is the coil pack and the ignitor box that they rebuilt. So i'm asking anyone out there if they have anymore ideas or anything that can help me out PLEASE!>>!?!?!
I need help car won't start and just keeps cranking, plus code 14

I had code 14 and it turned out one of the plugs going into the igniter was not completely clipped in. I would replace the coil packs and igniter seeing as how they are the only things you havent replaced.
First make sure the ground wire on the coil packs is complete and not loosen. Replace the coil packs if all wiring is good.
yeah i just looked for the ground on the coil packs and actually it wasn't there so i made one and it still didn't turn on, so i checked for spark and it had spark, so technically speaking that would mean the ignitor box and the coil packs are working wouldn't it?
Actually i have a theory but i need someone to help me legitimize it, i was looking at the valve covers and i pulled the plugs out and 5 and 6 were soaked in oil so my theory is that the oil is leaking in from the valve covers and stopping the car from starting, but its only in cylinders 5 and 6?! so what do you think?
check your grounds on your ignitor box. also the wires that go to the cps and make sure there isnt any breaks in them
i had the same problem car just died while driving it and it would crank but not start... turned out to be the ground for the fuel pump...

yeah the ground on the ignitor box was gone so i made a new one, and it still didn't start, and the wires on the cps are pretty good compared to how old it is. i jiggled them and stuff but it still wouldn't start, kept getting close but still no start.

huh i'll check that but if it was that it wouldn't be putting a code 14 right?

A flash of insight in what's bordering on a BLB (blind leading blind) thread. It's why you should ignore some of the advice you're getting, especially those last few bits...

you said it is getting close. what do you me. like it is tryin to start. also make sure the cps is timed correctly

like its cranking and then it his a little bit like its about to start when i play with the cps. i followed the tsrm and set the cps to the g2 pick up i believe at tdc.
