Agree w/ wrenchinT444E. From all you've written it sounds to me like the two wires cut in the engine compartment distribution box are the two sides of 30A MAX FUSE #22, correct? If so unplug the fuel bowl heater/preheater wire as previously described by Hussler. It'll run w/o it & if it does this is why the PO tried to bypass the fuse, thought he was bypassing the problem but he made it worse. Since the PO "played" w/ the wiring, just a thought here, maybe you should get a CPS at NAPA or local auto parts store & throw it in too, "just in case" that's another problem PO had & couldn't ID. Just my 2 cents worth.
