Is it building up and then dropping, building up etc.?

You might pull your EFI fuse and wait a minute or two (I think it's actually 30 seconds) to reset your ecu. It should reset all the learned settings.

I've had this symptom before, just can't remember exactly what I did to fix it.

You work in a "no paperclip area"? Can't believe you own 6 Supras and you don't have a paperclip or piece of wire just sitting in the fusebox of each.

edit: CRE beat me ;)

ROFL! With the assistance of a certain MKIII I've learned many lessons very quickly! :biglaugh:



EDIT: Don't sweat it Rick, with 6 of them you'll be a pro in no time! There should be very little waiting between lessons! I've heard that if you own more than one the cars start competing like little children with illnesses. One gets a BHG the next one has to out do him and develops rod knock.

Other than an electrical issue, it could be an air leak. The engine would be getting more air than it senses / lets in and then it sees the engine idling up too high and compensates. Just a thought.

Are you referring to me? If so I got me a two-fer. I must be on a roll.

You gotta be kidding. I can absolutely assure you there was never a time in my life when I owned 6 of anything and didn't know a lot more about them than the level we're talking about. I'm willing to bet the same would be true of almost anyone. Putting aside for a moment the fact you have 6 of these cars coupled with the almost pathetic excuse used to claim ignorance about them why do you think I'm here? Do you think I responded to your problem just so I could hassle you? Give me at least a little credit.

Btw, in case you haven't heard nice guys finish last...
