soo on a 90 7mgte, driving and went to pass a car in 5th, gave it some love, and she barely wanted to move. get off the highway and at a light shes sittin there barely idling sputtering and what not. give it gas and it sputters more doesnt really wanna go anywhere. pull back into the back of my work and its barely idling i shut it off check under the hood, maf, plugs, connectors etc. seems alright so i start it back up and it barely wants to start but does. then chug chug chug die. have checked the maf connector and the wires are alright. the fuel pump still works since it starts and primes itself.

havent had a chance to check fuel pressure yet but just trying to see if anyones got some ideas..

this motor has 8k miles on it. its a fresh stock rebuild.

dash lights are okay but havent had a chance to scan it yet. have a buddy coming tomorrow with an obdI scanner to see what comes up. other than that im lookin for ideas

Just wondering by chance did you check your sparkplug galley for oil.. Check by removing the plugs tension wires; if there is oil you may be grounding out. I had that happen to me once. Certainly check you codes, and make corrective action from that point, via the TRSM. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=16

After checking for checking for codes I would check all the IC piping maybe one of them might of have slipped off or is leaking like crazy. Something quite similar like this has happened to me before and it was one of my clamps that blew off or slipped off.

I've seen this happen before as well. Check for (large) boost leaks, verify the fuel pressure like you said you were going to, check codes. Pull the plugs and check your plug gap and make sure they're not soaked in oil. Double and triple check your connections to your AFM, TPS, CPS, plugs, etc.
