Try the auto scrap yard for replacement cables or you can purchase universal cables from an auto parts store

Almost dead center on the front of the engine beneath the head. It will have a plug (black if I remember right) and the wires will be wrapped. It's held on by one bolt.

No sensor involved , brake lamp switch probably needs to be adjusted ,maybe . Learning to test is the way to a fix ,.not by i was told it could be a sensor . Brake lights stay on Not saying that this is your problem but look under dash at the switch .Check the switch an pedal arm .

It could be a linkage rod for the accelerator cable. A good parts Dept at the dealer could tell you. They have exploded views if where the parts orient on every system in an auto or a truck.

Check your oil stick and make sure oil is up to the line on the stick.

Never scrap a car that's still in good shape. Check that all fluids are up and put a fresh battery in it and turn the key to on. You'll hear the fuel pump run till pressure is up, then crank it over. Should start up and be ready to run.

Please define locks up?

Question... are the ACTUAL RPM's rising and falling.. (the actual engine itself?).. if the engine is NOT actually revving up and down... doesn't really matter... BUT, if the engine IS revving up and down.. you need to have a professional to look at it..this could cause damage if it decides to rev real high or/and then stop!!

are you sure you have power on both sides of the fuse ie: used a test light to check it?

Bad Contact on battery terminals they may need cleaning and refit them , good luck .

Oil cooler return line.

This code indicates a large vacuum leak. You can sometimes find a leaky gasket by spraying ether on the gaskets while the engine idles. If the engine changes speed while the gasket is sprayed, you have found the leak.

From research Chrysler is having a lot of this same problem. If it were another vehicle I would say it's either ignition module or pickup coils going bad. Some vehicles have had problems with wires to pickup coils (Hall effect coils) getting hot and shorting due bad wire insulation. One cause is oil or dirt getting on pickup coils, cam position sensor, also if cam is worn and moving any that will affect the gap between sensor and cam. You didn't say how many miles were on the car.
