I went out and assisted someone with a problem with there 78 Royale, with a 403 engine.

What looks to me what happened, is that where there used to be a Throttle stop solenoid(emissions piece?) that is no longer there, the connector was still hanging loose.

a wire(I believe some tanish color) came out of the connector and welded itself to the engine and smoked that wire. It toasted what I think was all the way into the wiring loom on passenger side, burnt off what was the feed to the distributor, and then cooked the rest of the wire up near the harness block.

there was a green wire still isolated on the connector.

I spliced onto a black with green stripe wire, that also looks to be the correct feed to the distributor, and ran a new wire to the distributor to get the engine fired back up.

I pulled the green wire out of the loom that was on that connector and zip tied it up by the harness block. (used it to help feed the new distributor wire through the loom).

Luckily no other wires were cooked in the wiring harness.

Looking at the wiring diagram now,(not at gas station parking lot), I see a box with the letters CX in it showing a wire color change from pink to black double white stripe that is feeding the distributor.

then looking at the other side of the throttle stop solenoid in the diagram, there is a box with the letters FY.

just trying to learn what those mean? I am guessing CX is basically the harness block. the colors in this diagram seem to vary from the wires I found, but the "pink" wire would of been the burnt to hell one, as what parts where left of the insulation looked tan to me. and the other wire in that connector sure looked way more green then light blue.

here is the wiring diagram I am looking at:

Down at the bottom of the wiring diagram is a section called: Circuit Identification.
The first item say AS thru EZ and those are just connection points in the harness assembly connection block.
Your CX would be one of the connection points on that large connection block.It says it is a 40 connector block

Your FY is just another connection pointon a connector block although it does not seem to be identified in that section.
It is where the 12 gage pink wire connects to th 18 gauge Black DBL WHT stripe wire in another connector block.

If you have a GMC Shop manual for your coach, there is a wiring diagram in
the back of it. Failing that, Ken Henderson's son does diagrams for nearly
every year and model. Also, GMCMI has them.
