Thanks that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure. Will the coil being bad cause the other stuff that's happening?

Should not be the case except for the rpm which might be affected. Replace the coil and test if others go away.

Pick your symptoms:

Cranks but no start condition:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

If both fuel and spark is present-check the valve and ignition timing, this will lead you to problems
with compression and valves opening and closing at the wrong time/broken or jumped timing
belt/chain.

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be the starter, starter relay, park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good.

I just got a 1987 Toyota Supra with a 3.0 naturally aspirated inline 6.I am experiencing a no start situation. The battery is charged, and all of the lights and electronics work, but when I turn the key I just hear a click under the glove box area and a click from the right rear of the car. They sound like relay clicks. I should mention the car usually starts and runs fine, but this has happened 3 or 4 times lately.I try to start it-nothing, but then after 10 minutes or longer it would usually start. Not this time. I did some reseach and I'd like to try bypassing the neutral safety switch to see if it is bad. The problem is this is my first import and I don't even know where to look for the switch. Or if this is even a good idea. Please advise.
Thanks in advance

My Toyota Supra Turbo has an unusual problem, when I start it with a cold engine in starts fine, and drove fine but when I shut off the engine and let it sit for few minutes when engine still warm there's a time that it won't start, you won't even hear a crank it's just dead but leaving it for about 4 to 5 hours it will start again fine. Is there anything wrong with the sensors? What seems to be the problem with this? Pls. Help me asap! Thanks guy!

Could be a bad starter/solenoid. Check for 12 volts at the small wire on the starter with key in crank position. If it has power then the starter needs to be replaced. If none, then get back to me and we will figure out where it stops

I own a 1989 toyota supra turbo with 58000 miles on the engine and when its cold it starts right up. I shut it off when the engine is hot but then it becomes difficult to start about 2-4 times to start, and when it does start it idles low and rough.

Check the fuel pressure not to sound stupid but how? And also could it be the injectors are dirty. Because originally we thought it was a bad starter but the only problem was the starter needed a new ground. Thanks anyways

If your losing the holding pressure from the fuel pump it will do that prolong starting when engine is hot.
