Default RE: Car died Failsafe mode ????? HELP

Just got back from messing around with somethings I had thought might be the problem. I cleared the codes, then pulled the wot switch off to find maybe three little pieces of wire still conecting it. So I stripped the wire and did a much better connection. Then messed with the little tube running off the cai(think it might be the evap ctrl) which I had broken during install of my purge kit and made it as good as I can do without getting a new part(needed).
I then let the car warm up. Gave it some good revs(up to 4k rpm). Everything seemed fine so I took it out on the road. So I drove around the area for awhile. Felt pretty good so I did some 3rd gear wot runs(where the problem began) all the way up to 60-70mph. Still nothing so went to my favorite spot to do some 0-60 runs. Did 3 of those(don't wanna push my luck not a street racer I take it to the track) still nothing taking at all the way to 6k rpm in first and second gear. Could all this come from a bad connection to the throttle wire. I will take it later hook the wot switch back up put the 93 tune on(did this on the 87tune) and beat on it again.
