No the foil is a radio wave shield for the tach/coil and TFI signal. I'll revisit this thread in a few hours, I'm a little drunk right now. We'll figure out where the short is.

I replaced the tps and it didnt change. Voltage was the same. So I returned it. Misfire comes and goes. I have a small pop noise like it was a vacuum leak. But I dont know what to do with these codes. I have checked all grounds. The one by the batterry is fine, by the intake manifold by pcv valve is fine. The one by the xomputer is fine. Dont know guys. Im feeling it could be a component thats messed up causing the short. Im going crazy.

well lets take alook at where the trouble first showed up.
You inserted the jumper between the sto/mill and sti to read the codes and heard a pop? fuse blew?
Gotta be something in that wire or set of wires that's not right.
You should have gotten nothing there until you turned the key into the run position.
Examine that area and dig down into that harness where it goes to the computer.

Pull your ignition switch make sure nothing is burnt inside of there.
Look at your neautral safety switch as it gets its ground from the same ground as all those sensors.
Examine all sensor plugs for burnt or melted appearance.
Examine fuel pump relay plug , fan relay plug , fan plug, 9 times out of 10 it is going to be a burnt or melted plug its pretty rare to find a short with in the harness it self unless the harness is cut apart and wires have been left out and chaffed against metal some place.
