the two wires grounded to the floor is the lumbar plug. the other is the fuel pump relay.
I had a 93 four banger and it did not have the plug for the fuel relay unless it's hidden underneath the carpet somewhere.

I doubt it is as im sure they moved the relay on 4cyl's to the passenger side shock tower into a CCRM..

OH BTW, can i reuse my computer? its an a9p. I don't see why not?

Yes, you can reuse the computer. You won't have a problem there as far as I know.

all fuel pump relays send the same amount of power to the pump i would replace the relay or check the wiring for shorts the inerta switch is the only relay (switch) inside the car besides fuses & other relays

I had the wrong harness.. Once I got an ECU and headlight harness from a 92+ car, hooked it all up, and the car fired right up.
