Default PUSHING CAR OFF CLIFF

ok well after swapping in a puny sohc motor last weekend, the car would run great but if i tried reving past 4k it would bog then be ok and bog again.

it started getting worst. then i couldnt rev past 3k and teh car would misfire. the tach was all over the place. i figured it might be the ignitor or coil going bad so i swaped them with the dizzy from my dohc motor in to the dizzy from the sohc. same issue. tach was still all over theplace. i would cruising at 2500rpms and the needle would be bouncing everywhere then the car would start to stutter.

well on friday it started doing it again so i gavve it gas and then the car reved all the way to about 5k and then died.

now i dont even get a ecu light and i dont hear the fuel pump. my afc wont turnn on either. the car will turn over.

other electrical components do work like the windows and radio.

i changed out the main relay and same ish. no blown fuses. i tried a different ecu same ish.

now im thinking i may have had some type of currentt overload that was making my tach go nuts and mess with my dizzy. and when i managed to rev it to 5k it blew something. but what?

help me im tired of fixing crap. i just want to enjoy my dam boost.

when i had issues very similar, there were shorted wires inside the engine harness itself.

changed the engine harness...blam! good as new.
