Yaaaayyyy!!! I'm a retard.
Things I learned from this adventure.
- Don't assume anything ISN'T there because you're a lazy uckfay
- TCU is gold, ECU is silver. uckfay you google image search
- Don;t let your brother snip a wire that may or not be important
So the car did have a TCU,great! we can start problem solving!
Just kidding all the wires and grounds look good. Alight, lets remove the dash components and check for something back there. Nope. All good.
Alright....Lets go play Super Smash Bros until we feel like working on it again.

Moved the lever on it and there we go. It changed the car from R to N. Down to D, 3, 2, 1. Put her in P. she fired right up.
I burned the car to the ground after that. I hate you legacy.
Pretty sure the Alternator is fried though. There is a reason it died so I'm charging the battery right now. Gonna see how that works, and then if it does. I'll throw an alternator in.
