thank you for the replies... definately the wiring harness... and doesn't matter any more as on the way home tonight, the water inside the heater hose got sooo hot it burst the plastic piece the cap screws onto and water shot out across my headers.
Friggin awesome, I know... but given the amount of smoke/steam I saw pooring out of the engine bay, I'm just grateful it was water flashing as it hit he hot metal rather than seeing flames since I had no extinguisher. A passerby also thought I was on fire since they called 911.
Hope Karma rewards that individual because I know too many people these days that would just drive by and comment: "Sux to be that guy." rather than call assistance for him. Now I can only hope the engine block didn't crack since I shut the car off soon as I saw the smoke. Almost positive the headers did, however, cause you can see in the pic they're wrapped and they held the water there and steamed/smoked/smoldered for a good 10 min. Fun stuff...
