I feel like I’m chasing a dead end. Traced the key-on pcm power to the PCM fuse to find there’s only one wire going to it. The other unused terminal looks like it’s never been used and I don’t see any evidence of a wire being ripped out.
The “always hot” pcm power and OBD power trace to pin B on C203 - the fuel pump circuit? I’m so lost.
What’s really confusing me is that when the car died originally, the original fuel pump relay still clicked so the pcm was definitely getting power.

Beauty in a wiring harness is not how it's wrapped, but in how it it assembled. Evidently, your harnesses beauty is only skin deep.
Your engine fired on starting fluid because it had air, spark and fuel from the starting fluid. Your PCM wasn't pulsing the injectors.
Your harness needs to be properly wired for your problems to disappear.

Ok guys I feel like a moron. PCM fuse was indeed blown but visually looked ok. Swapped in a different one and fired right up. Ugh

Lol! That is pretty funny. Almost a month to chase down a blown fuse. Don't feel bad, we all make easy mistakes.
The good thing is that you learned to never rely on a visual inspections of a suspected blown fuse and instead swap fuse or use a test light/voltmeter
