1985 Toyota SR5 4x4 with 22RE wiring and TPS question

[Hickory Nut]

Okay all you 22RE gurus. Today while messing around with my truck I cracked the Air Intake boot on my 22re. While the intake hose was off I noticed a 4 prong plug for the harness electrical taped up. It was spliced to a three wire plug going into the TPS. The makeshift splice was literally electrical taped together. I decided to cut off the 4 prong plug that was on the original harness and just use the 3 prong that was plugged into the TPS.

The 4 prong plug has a brown, black, blue, and white wire. The 3 prong plug has a red, black, and blue wire. White was connected to red, black to black and blue to blue and I heat shrinked the brown wire.

Just for the heck of it I tried to crank it but it started up and died almost instantly. Do you guys think me fixing the makeshift splice would cause this or the broken air intake boot? I will order a new boot because I broke the old one. I used quality splices and heat shrink to fix the rigged wiring.

I assume that either the engine or tps was changed at one time or another but I would think the ecu would have had to be changed as well. What are your thoughts? Any Ideas?

Thanks

changed to boot, if you did not change anything, as far as wires connected to one another

I got the new intake boot and tightened all the intake clamps. Runs Like a top now.
