Electrical issue??

If you have a good ohm meter with back probes and long enough leads you can test it that way from engine compartment to under the dash with a friend. Again disconnect the battery first. If it's green with a brown tracer there's a ton of them under there.

That green wire sounds like it might be the "Hot in Run and Start" lead from the ignition switch.

What does that mean? The only symptom that the car has since the short out is that 50% of the time when I start the car, it will idle soooo rough until i rev it up to about 3grand for 10 seconds or so, then its all good.

Bomb ass wiring diagram at http://www.diakom.ru If you can tell me the tracer I can probably tell you which one it is or at least narrow it down for you.

Scratch that site, it's in Russian.
