The red and violet wire carries 5v to the gas pedal, and is also connected to the throttle body. I traced it back to the ecu so i at least know that wire is connected properly. I tried jiggling wires around while the car sputtered. The maf is hooked up to the ecu properly. If I could figure out which wires are what on the maf and throttle body I could be sure that they have correct voltage.



I’ll keep poking around at stuff after work until the new pedal and pot arrives
If you DM me your email, I'll send you all the wiring schematics.

My guess it's 1 of 2 things

1 - there are only a few common ground points in our cars. Multiple circuits ground to a single point. If one has become corroded (or damaged - we're you in an accident?), it could effect multiple electronics. This could also be true of wiring bundles - if you were in an accident and a bundle was pinched it could short multiple sensors.

2 - your ecu is shot

I'm hoping for 1, but Occam's razor may be pointing at the second (especially if there are signs of physical damage to the casing)

If I were you, I'd roll her to the body shop and have her totaled. Get the cash and then decide how much its worth to sort this out. That's just my 2c though.
