Hi :)
Ok, there is no such item that fits the description of the ballast resistor anywhere in the engine bay.
Fuses are cheap :)
Removing the blue pair of wires (87b) makes the car run, nothing blows, starts right up. i'd say they are the issue. One of them goes to the control pressure regulator, one goes to a junction where it hits the brown wire from the coil, and then continues blue to the ECU.(going nowhere near any ballast resistor along the way).
Will try to upload the cropped bit of the wiring diagram thats relevant to my webspace www.zianet.com/~dtomei, check and see if it's there. and if it is, forgive the ragged bits, i blew it up to 36 x 36 inches and had it printed on a blueprint machine and mounted it on a board to use while i fought with the wiring, it artifacted bad when enlarged, and not all of it has been repaired. I think everything in that segment is accurate according to the car.
