So after all my fretting about feeling like my life is on hold. I get to rechecking everything again (none of the junkyards had anything I could use) and the dealer has a "you buy it's yours" policy on electrical stuff. I decided to just go home and check it over again.
I unhooked the MAP, TPS, BPC and ECU harnesses and sprayed them with some contact cleaner/conduction helper spray from radio shack. Then I pulled the ground strap off the ecu and the car, sanded all the contacts even the bolt itself, sprayed some more spray and put it all back together.
Of course wouldn't you know it the car fires up (idles a little rough due to all the carb cleaner I was spraying in there). Smooths out and runs fine, Took it for a drive just like it's old self, burning tires and having fun.
One problem (the drama continues) While reconnecting the battery I broke the terminal (2nd time in 2 years) So I'm waiting AGAIN to install my stage 4 ecu until I have a new battery terminal.
At least the car runs and drives like normal and won't put anyone in danger.
Thanks to all for listening to my rant and race session and then offering some ideas. I couldn't own a Saab without TSN.
