Trace the two wires to their source on the other end and post the results, that will help give some clues.

Well i have a pic of the wire whip, the top 3 plugs are to the main whip the one below it is the ALDL then the wires off go to the fuse box, and the 2 wires (black+Green) are seperated from the other wires, and trace them do you mean to the plug or to the plug then the main whip then the computer? well here's the pic if it helps anyone....it must go somewhere near the fuse box, or for the tach or fuel pump, someone said to me before it has something to do with the AC idle up or something to do with the MAF sensor....

Need to know where the other ends of those two wires originate. If they're at the ECM, need to know which pin #s.
