so I was simply checking my oil and I saw the regular throttle cable connected to the tb but then i saw another cable next to it and i traced it to the cylinder looking thing. but there is also custom wiring from my coil pack that has a blue wire that loops around in my car from the coil pack to the weird cylinder thing i said earlier.

02 manual V6. i was thinking the 2nd cable has to do with the clutch but if so then what is tg blue wire for.

Second cable is most likely cruise control, not too familiar with the system on V6. The wire to the coil was/is mist likely for a remote start or alarm. Viper and the like use a coil to know if the car started in manual transmission mode.

car does not have any tach or guages at all.
someone did wire in a little 4 button thing that enables cruise control. but that is all.
but i bought it like that last week.
wtf is the extra cable connected to the throttle??

that could make sense. this car did not come with cruise control so im assuming the blue wire is for the cruise and the 2nd cable is too.

That is some kind of aftermarket add on cruise control system. The stock cruise module is mounted inside the driver fender. The second cable holds the throttle open for cruise
