Knowing that I would really check out all the harness wiring. Look for water damage and also around the ecm area

I had the same issue lost the power wire it was a pita to get back in and solder in place so it would not pull out again chances are it is not pugging into the ECM properly. did the wire pull out of the connector or the connector out of the harness?

After not working on my car for a few weeks due to going back to work after a 4 month layoff(Union Ironworker), I found my problem. Bad connection on the power wire. Thanks for all the good advice guys

glad you found it, and glad you got back to work.  If you can find anyone to vote for that will actually encourage manufacturing in this country other than flipping burgers, vote for them/him/her

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Glad I actually decided to go to the garage after work and try to figure it out. Now I just need to adjust my new TPS and IAC and hopefully it will fire up and break in the cam.
