Partial throttle will rev the engine, I found out when wearing my winter boots and pressing on the brake pedal also happened to press on the gas. I was surprised by how much higher than normal the engine revved.

Yes, everything comes on. Power to the throttlebody, and igniters. I do smell fuel after a few attempts too but without runnong pressure tests I can't be for sure. My tester kit is coming Friday.

You need four things for an engine to run.
1) Ignition
2) compression
3) fuel
4) for all to happen at the right time

Just heads up, this fix worked for months but noticed the wire insulation slowly melting... Last night bunch of smoke while driving and the wire had burned up lol... Time to try and replace the actual ground strap and see if that fixes it.
Maybe coincidence but my heated windshield and rear window were both on which I rarely do.

Coming back to this, mine burned up too! I rewired it but need to go back and do it in a better way to avoid heat. Did you ever find the root?
