First I must stress this, I would never knock someones work, nor would tell them to not attempt stuff them self. It is also why I ask what you want to do if it's something simple.... Please do not be upset about what I will say.
Basicly I feel really bad, and wish it was something more...
The TPS harness was shorted out. All the wires touched after the final wrap. I knew that the computer is a very very very hard thing to fry, even if you shorted everything out, it's hard to kill. I moved the TPS harness (last thing I went for) and the fuel pump and relays clicked with each movement of the wire... I openned the harness up, made sure nothing was touching... she fired right up...

OH [censored] ! WHY IN THE HELL DIDN'T THE DEALERSHIP PICK THAT UP!!! I guess you did have an idea of where to look, I did tell them I had been messing with it...
OH damn. My wife told me weeks and weeks ago to undo the splice I made in those wires. SHE IS GOING TO KILL ME !!!
Oh crap. This makes me sick!

ahh man!   I guess it's nice to finally know what it was, but man you went through a whole pile of crap just to find that. I'm really sorry to hear it. I hope you don't beat yourself up over it too badly.
