This really gotta be the only forum ive ever been on where someone is nice enough to drive an hour away for someone they dont know, to help them out.... thats frickin awesome... hopefully we can tackle this problem!!
I agree. Mr Adam was kind enough to send me out a part this last week, even though it was a huge inconvenience for him to find it and then mail it. He would not accept any sort of payment either.

funny you said that.. me either.. and i triedddd even getting him to pull over to an exxon and ide fill up his car... no go tho!! ... i realllyyy appreciate the help!
there was a short on the harness on my fuel injector harness on my manifold.. He was looking EVERYWHERE on the computer harness until he touched something on the back of the manifold, then we both heard the fuel pump just "turn on".... when we heard that, he tried to make it short out again to find out where it was coming from, but then he couldnt and the car was continueing to idle...... soo he shook the harness around while the car was running to see if itd kill, and soon enough he got an arch and it died.... traced it to the fuel injector harness pinched on the manifold...... also found a few other vacuum leaks... car idles and runs alot better now then before!
Picked up the 20A circuit breaker fuse at advanced auto and a fuse holder. Stripped back the wires on the fuse holder and inserted it in to the Maxi fuse prong locations. You can feel and hear the pop when the breaker trips. To reset you just pull it out and stick it back in. So basically i would shake something then reinsert the fuse and see if it pops.
First issue:
IAT sensor had wires stripped back and added.
Wires lead to what i can only assume is one of them ebay boxes that make your car think its getting cold air (for super max horse powers)
So i disconnected all that and taped it up.
When i disconnected this the breaker didnt trip. I assume its because of the big yellow power cable that goes to the EEC fuse.
SO eventually i notice a kink in the wires by the EGR valve so i disconnect the egr valve connector and the pump primes....
I stripped back the conduit and the wires look good so i assume its on the harness connected to that.
That being said the car started up and idled and i shook like hell and saw sparks from here:
Shook a little harder and the car dided and breaker tripped.
Unhooked everything and got it out as far as i could without taking the manifold off... (didnt have a thin walled socket) and taped up the connector.
The manifold needs to come off to make it a permanent fix. (needs heatshrink)
Other isues that need to be fixed:
Crankcase vent tube needs a new bung on the intake pipe someone sawed this one off:
ABS is disconnected for some reason:
Smog is missing the tube going to the midpipe:
Red vac hard line is broken(i think this supplies vac to the smog system i could be wrong):
