just kidding, I'd be interested to see how well using the throttle cable to adjust idle instead of the IACV works.. that thing is a pita
as far as blowing the fuses, take a meter and chase wires.. a lot of trial and error It shouldn't make it run weird, I had stupid issues with my radio wiring (I was 17 and had no idea what I was doing) and it never effected startup
check spark, clean throttle body, take off fuel in line and make sure when you turn the key it pumps fuel
