Trying to get my little project car off the ground, car was not running when I bought it. Replaced the turbo due to damage on the inlet vanes. (po said it was leaking oil, and looked like it ate some dirt) Then I had no spark, found a bad pip and tif, still no spark and found bad coil. I also replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor... Then my starter took a crap. I have spark but no fuel. found tank rusted and pump dead. Replaced pump and tank with new filters. pcm still not grounding out the fuel pump relay but when I ground the pin at the eec test connector I now have fuel pressure. Then the ignition switch fell apart, and the connector melted. replaced the switch and hardshell connector, replaced the 2 yellow power feeds, and the gray with yellow tracer. From what I can tell that circuit is sending power to heated o2 sensor and abs hydro pump relay????(circuit 687).

Now I got the engine to start and run (but runs like crap)
run a pcm self test and get code 23 for tps out of test range. I still need to test and replace it if its bad.

due to the heat damage from the ignition switch should there be anything I should keep an eye out on, or look over and or replace? I did have the nest of fuse links out when I overhauled the dis and replaced the coil. I didnt see anything that looked burned or overheated.....

The good the windows roll up and down :thumbup:

TC's are a labor of love.It has been said before that they are never done. Just when you think you have it she will throw something new at ya. Good luck with it and don't let it get to you.

If you are talking about the relatively thin GY/Y wire that comes directly off the ignition switch ant is "lose", meaning not bundled into the harness, that is a resistance wire that feeds the IVR for the gauges.
