Hey all, my friend has a FWD Turbo talon, 2nd generation. He said the, ecu is fine i took that out and checked it. There is a connection on top of my air intake manifold that would fix my rpm's jumping when i took it off, blew in it and put it back on. now my rpms read 0 and jump at random and cause my car to misfire because my car thinks my engine is jumping like that. I have a pic of it if you think you may know what it is?

Trying to read and make sense of what you're saying....anyway...the plug you're showing is for the coil packs. Unplugged the car will NOT run. You need to test the resistance of the coils to rule out bad coils before getting any further. Check the vfaq on it.
 
The problem is the ICM (Ignition Control Module). the connection that is to the left of that connector that goes to the coil pack. Blow in the ICM or spray it out and it should work. If not replace the ICM itself first before cutting any wires.
