Continuity testing by it's self is not that reliable....... this is why I say that.
Wires are made up of multiple strands.
It only takes a single strand to show a connection "continuity"
So all the strands in a wire can be broken except one... that wire will test as good because it shows "continuity" on the single strand.
But the wire "circuit" will not function because there will be to much resistance from the broken strands.
Continuity test are only reliable if the wire is completely broken "no continuity" or used in conjunction with resistance testing.
So again I think you need a shop schooled in electrics specific to theses cars.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

I appreciate all the input. It does feel different. And it started inching in traffic, it revved way up when I gave it a little gas and then started missing and died. I ordered a used pedal with potentiometer. I’m wondering if it’s still in “limp” mode with the pedal disconnected because it’s getting zero reading and that’s what it defaults to now. I hope I can get it by Thursday. I’m going on a trip and still have the body shop and insurance to deal with. Just want to drop it off and not have to worry about these headaches.
Fingers are crossed that the pedal and a hard reset of everything will correct it.
