ok guys tell me what you think i found an 86.5 supra 5spd white with blue leather tint tems all the options good paint a little rust on one fender about the size of a 50 cent piece good tires 180k miles but has new metal head gasket new plugs all that stuff w/p belts new rad. guy said he washed it one day and now it wont start he replaced a relay it started fine cut it off it wont start but you can jump a wire from the + batt terminal to diagnostics plug and it will start fine no smoke no knock a 60 yr old man owns it and is garage kept passenger window doesnt work possibly switch but he said he would take 700 bucks for it. i think im going to scoop it up and give it a good home it may be na but for that price i could use it for a dd if nothing else and does anyone have any idea about why it wont start unless you use the jumper wire? bad ecu or fuse or what. oh and the leather is a little cracked but still intact.

whenever you have two of the same car, and are planning to use one as a DD, and the other as a project/race car, turn the crappier one into the project, that way you wont waste perfectly good extra options on a car where you wont use them.

try locking it, and unlocking the driver side door w/ key.

sounds like all your doing is jumping it each time which is what i did to get arround the stock alarm. or fix that relay that got choped off.

i talked to the guy tonight he said the relay he changed out was the fuel relay and it started but when he turned it off it wouldnt start again he said he changed the efi fuse and a few other things he ssaid he thinks its either the ecu or possibly the distibutor what else do you guys think it might be?
