TPS? COUPLE questions supra newb

[MK3Supraman]

bought 87 supra turbo 5 speed targa no rust bright yellow for 2k fresh tigerjap swap 40k on motor

i get it home and notice the wat i think the tps had the sensor unplugged. so when i plugged it in it started to idle rev from 1k to 500 an throws code random at 500 then back up

next

notice something drippin on my downpipe after i stop the car but i check my oil and its still at full any ideas? not coolant

also

oil pressure only hittin like 38 psi at 3k(wont go higher) gauge broke?

What specific ECU code?

Sure it's not coolant? There's a couple coolant hoses near that area. You could add some UV dye to your oil and check with a black light in a couple days.

Your oil pressure is in spec:

It is on the low side though...might want to check with a mechanical gauge at the sensor location. The fitting is 1/8" BSPT.

its not coolant its oily like ps or oil which probably relates to low oil presusure??wats around that area that has oil?

also code just flashes at 500 then disappears in a second

anybody with the tps?

If the CEL came on, the ECU stored an error code...you have to check:

Before you vector off on a wild goose chase, I highly suggest you check the ECU codes.

The only way oil could drip on the DP would be from the cam cover gaskets.

 

[MK3Supraman]

from wat i got codes were
14

and

25


so 14 is that like plug wires an sparks?

and 25 thats a lot of stuff to check but i get horrible gas mileage so oxygen sensor?

also car is BONE STOCK so idk runnin lean

but fuel pressure would make sense since i have to try twice to start it

 

[MK3Supraman]

anyone?

I would try the external igniter ground(search it) its cheap and easy. Not sure if it will do anything though.
Also check your TPS per TSRM.
I'm certain it has nothing to do with your spark plug wires.

BTW...Nice Ride
