well man ouch.. looks like u need a new map sensor, some vacume hose, and the wiring harness u can do one of a few ways, u can cut the wires on each side of where they are burnt and take the time to run new wires between u can buy a whole new harness wich would take a long time to install... and are any of ur injectors damaged i cant tell because that would be expensive as hell

Looks like that originated as a fuel fire from a leaking o-ring on an injector, traveled up and back.
Had that happened at the front of the motor you could have burned the hood release cable and would have lost the rig.
Thats why we tell people not to drive a rig if you smell fuel. Did you smell fuel?
