ok guys here is the news:

i swapped my MAF with another MAF and it changed nothing.

i swapped my CAS with another working one, and nothing changed.

i tore apart every wiring harness that is related to maf, cas, and tps, the reason being as follows:

when i have the key on accesories, and push on the throttle, i notice the TPS voltage correspondingly going up on the display. but, i also see the injector voltage going up, with my input on the throttle. when i quickly slam on the throttle the injector voltage climbs from 5.4 volts to 13 volts for a split second, if i step on it slowly, it stays at 5.4 volts. This leads me to believe that there is a short somewhere between the injector power wires and the tps wire, because with just the accesories on, there shouldn't be any power going to the injectors. (no matter what, injector duty cycle still reads zero btw)

all in all the car has improved significantly, it can hold a rather rough idle, and drive almost 95%, and pulls strong in the higher rpms, and is no longer throwing codes. i think the water that was creating the short has almost evaporated. i am letting it sit in a heated garage overnight to see if that makes a difference. any more input? i need this car fully reliable by 12 pm EST tomorrow. thanks
