I had the same issue with a supra I had a long time ago. Turns out it was the ECU...weird but took FOREVER to diagnose. I would skip unless you get it for <1K

if and IF its gonna turn out as a project car then talk the price way down because that has a bit of miles and aint the cleanest +the tranny problem. Other wise id skip it for sure.
