The top wire is the fuel heater. The lower is the water in fuel sensor. If its a 96-97.
Was there fuel present? If not just pull the connector off the bowl. Start it up and inspect. Driving it is up to you.

I would not start it unless you have a fire extinguisher handy. Probably fire up again unless you get the problem fixed. Bad parts is that you might have to start it find out where the problem was....
