Today the supra did not want to boost properly. I hit fuel cut (or what i think is fuel cut) at about 8-9 PSI. Did a diagnostic I have a code 34(excessive turbo pressure), 51, which is the TPS. Is that excessive turbo pressure code a fancy way of saying fuel cut?


I've found the procedure to check the TPS but the Fluke meter is at my shop. I will do it tomorrow.

Now, my question is this. If I have a faulty TPS, would this be a reason why I am hitting fuel cut/code 34?? The TPS is talking to the ECU/whatever but is not giving the ECu/whatever the correct reading? hence no fuel? problem seams to happen occasionally. Was hitting 12 PSI no problem at times today, then other times she said no!

Check your intercooler plumbing. They may have come apart or developed a leak.

I did not get a chance to check out my TPS today as it was super busy at work.
On my way home the thing died at a redlight and would not start! I felt like such a tool stuck in the middle of the road. After a few minutes of trying it finally started. I checked my diag codes when I arrived home and got the same ones 34, and 51.

I know my problem is at my TPS, just curious if this symptom usually means the TPS needs to be replaced?

Thanks again guys.

Oh I almost forgot, Degree - I checked all my intercooler piping and everything looks to be okay. All clamps are tight and no notcable holes anywhere so I dont think there is a boost leak. (when I got the car started at the light I gave her hard to get the hell out of there and she hit 12 lbs and ran strong). Would a small, small boost leak cause this? Maybe a pinhole or something I could not see...?
