Assuming the basics' have been thoroughly checked, a few things come to mind. I've replaced many engine harnesses and I've NEVER seen an engine control module damaged due to shorted wiring. That doesn't mean it can't happen, it just means I've never seen it. One thing I have seen several times are Air Mass Sensors that have been damaged by short circuits. This can cause the symptoms you describe. Before you buy an Air Mass Sensor though, follow ronald_m's advice. Also, don't forget to check the fuel pressure regulator. Good luck
