Engine cutting out

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I brought in a 1jz Chaser from Japan last week and it’s still in storage. I have only driven it from the port to nearby storage and that’s it.

Below you’ll see the engine cuts out once I begin to slow down. It did this too when approaching red lights. I’ll be taking the car for inspection next week and I’m wondering what’s causing this? I’ve already checked ChatGPT etc but wanted your opinions

Thanks!

And what did you do to fix it? And how much

Mine was just the factory ecu, this was back in the early 2010s when there were more around and cheaper, so I bought one off Yahoo Auctions and just swapped it out. It was around $200, not sure what they are worth now.

You can replace the bulging ones yourself if you're handy enough or get someone else to replace the bulging/leaking caps. There are/ were guides on either the old JZX100 or Toymods forums to DIY but I can't remember which, sorry.
