had 2 more codes this morning after car began to idle high p0123, p0223 both are probably caused by the now obvious wiring issue from the pcm to the throttle body. so time to start cutting plastic and finding a bad wire i guess...

im trying to find a write up on how to remove the wiring harness so i can thoroughly go through it wire by wire but not having much luck. i know where the short should be in that foot in a half of wire but in the car its rough to do. i tried to test the plug with a volt meter but i honestly dont know what voltage i should be looking for.
