I bought my Supra in late September of 05. I've given it a lot of treatment and upgrades since then. There has been one thing that I've sort of neglected...Code 31. I've always had it, but it never effected anything.
My AFR was always around 14.5-14.7 at idle and 12.5-12.8 under boost...So I think that's about right. Anyways, One thing that did bother me was anytime it rained, it would lack air for the first 10 minutes of driving, afterwards, was the norm. Well, it's been like this for the past 11 months.
Starting about 2 weeks ago, start up every morning was rough. It would start on first try, but would die 50% of the time. I'd fire it back up, then all would be well.
The last 5 days now, it would do as such stated above, but instead of "all being well", it would die again. And again. With it being my daily driver and ONLY driver, I have a job to go to every day, so running pig rich was my only option. At stop lights, it would want to die, CEL would kick on, then within higher RPMs, it would be fine but miss out a bit.
Today, Go to warm it up for work, does exactly as I said ^^, but this time, it dies 3 times and then doesn't want to start back up. (Yes, I gave it time in between so I wouldn't knock off timing or whatever). So, blah blah blah, I get a ride to work, get back, start working on it tonight...When I first got back home 7 hours later, I tried to start. Same thing.
So...I pulled off the AFM, unplugged everything, checked for boost leaks (all good), spent about 3 hours just observing everything. So I put it back together, and to my surprise, it fires up. I let it warm up, go for a test drive.
Everything seems normal, BTW, it misses out the first 20 minutes of driving because I need new plugs (which I have but haven't installed yet)...:icon_conf Anyways, I get about 1/2 mile down the road and it starts cutting out REALLY bad. Runs pig rich, and the more I open up the throttle, the more it feels like my gas pedal is invisible. When I say that, I mean that pushing on the gas made no change in the RPMs, and felt as if I was doing nothing. So...Dies. Start it up, I try to get it moving but it just kept missing out so bad that it would die...(Weird thing is, start up is PERFECT as opposed to have some foul plugs and rough start up)...So I end up calling my pops and he pushes me home with his car...So now I've got a nice and purdy scuffed up bumper...:nono: That's the least of my worries though...
So the last week, I've been in the search of a stock freakin' AFM.
Nobody around here has one, I hear that my BOSSSSS man, Jon (MDC) has one, but of course, I can't get ahold of him because his phone is down (or he is ignoring me) :icon_conf ...AND I get to find a way to work everyday until I get it fixed. Aside from my ranting, could it be anything else besides my AFM?
It's having symptoms that are unexplainable...
