Chassis and Tail Harness. You can see your fuel tank wiring in this one.

Now we're getting somewhere! Ok, so any idea what the 4C thing does? THAT is what may have been disconnected... once again... not sure that would cause such a heat up in the wire, but..... maybe.

WAIT...WTF? I don't even have 4WD... that's not it

Rev, you got the engine compartment wiring pic by chance?

Engine compartment harness.

Problem partially solved. One of the vacuum switches shown on the passenger side above the fender (shown 67M through 70M on that side) was removed (not sure which one) but the positive and negative cables were linked together afterwards. Now, while this connection is most likely the problem, it doesn't explain the recent events necessarily.

The wire is only being heated up under starting conditions. Once the key returns back to on, the problem stops. What does this mean? Well, over the years, this connection being in tact during start up has made something all effed up causing this starting issue. It only recently got bad because of my smaller battery that was installed, and thus longer cranking times each start up. So.... now I have to figure out what it killed :/

Thanks for the help guys! And if you have any ideas on what to check... lemme know!

Just so you know those vacuum switches are part of the spark plug switching control circuit which controls whether the engine is running twin plugs or shuts down to one spark plug per cylinder.

[PEZi]

Yeah I know. Now I'm wondering how to rig it up to make sure it runs both.

There's like ten wires in this truck a 30k SW would be awesome.
