Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) possible Bomb evidence?

[Ncostello]

As many of you may be aware I am trouble shooting an idle miss. Last night I was placing dielectric compound on my VP-44 connection. The VP had 7 wires going into it.



One of the wires had what looked like evidence of one of those quick connect crimp connectors (scotchlock by 3M?). This wire was black with a tan (maybe white) stripe.



Another wire in the 2 large connectors up near the master cylinder on the firewall actually still had a red scotchlock on it. I removed it and put liquid electrical tape over it. It was red with a green stripe. I also noticed the same color wire going into the VP-44.



Does anyone think there was a module hooked up to my truck at some time? Do they only take two wires like this. None of the others had any signs of tampering. I was told the truck didn't have any modifications ever. Nothing else on the truck looked tampered with.



I just wonder if a box or something had been installed.

Wrong place for the performance enhancing modules in both cases. No idea why they would be there, sorry.

My guess would be some sort of remote start device. Possibly and alarm (doubt it). But that's just my guess.

Not to be the bearer of bad news but the black and tan wire down by the pump is where a nice JVD box gets hooked in and the other one is for the same thing. Those boxes are nice but I like my drag comp better. Both have about same power. I had both of them on mine the Edge hooks into one of the two wires about the injection pump connection.
