Just bought my first Supra (86.5) four days ago, two days ago I ran into a very interesting problem.
I was driving her for the first time longer than a couple blocks, and the check engine light came on, the temp gauge spiked, and i started looking rpms and mph. so i pressed in the clutch to down shift and get off the road and she died. When I stopped and popped my hood, there was a hissing sound coming the BACK of the block and antifreeze was vaporizing and smoking. We towed her home, then today we removed the thermostat and took her for a spin and she was doing fine til the temp spiked, so we pulled over before she died and the same thing was happening.
HELP.
