Supra2jze Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 So today I took my car to work, its been running great for the last 2 months... I've took it everywhere (inc Japfest). 5 mins from the workplace engine randomly started to idle rough whilst in 'drive' & then all of a sudden engine cut off. I tried starting it again but it just wouldn't start, so I tried starting it again, this time revving it (I was on a roundabout), car started this time, then after a few seconds it began to drive like normal but the warning light came on & then I noticed the car engine became shaky & the lumpy sound started to stay. 3 hours later on my lunch break, I drove it 2 miles down the road to get lunch & the engine just all of a sudden cut off. Now Engine cuts off after literally 2 seconds of trying to start [:(s Model UK Spec Auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Sounds like a sensor has gone or going. You need to search on here on the process to check for error codes and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Could be a MAP or MAF sensor. Sorry couldn't remember which it is on the UKs:(. Error codes will help for sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Sounds like a MAF sensor fault, either the pipe has come off or the plug has come off it or the little element in it is dirty/goosed. Try giving the element inside it a spray with spray brake cleaner but DO NOT TOUCH IT. If that doesn't fix it I have a spare one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Maybe contact cleaner would be better on electrical items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike2JZ Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Check error codes, if they say nothing useful then figure out if you are missing spark or fuel. From there you can go into the electronics like sensors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 When this happened to me the supra gave no sensible error codes. After lots of trial and error with various things turned out to be ecu. Needed to replace it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra2jze Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thanks guys, appreciate your response. So I called my mate round who is a mechanic he adjusted the Idle & the cars works fine. He reckons it could be a coilpack/spark plug issue. But I'll deffo have to look into the error codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
