OK doing my first swap. The car was a dpfi 88 hatch. It has a mine me z6 with turbo. I was having trouble with no power but turned out to be the thermo ground. Fixed it but when I put power to it I seen smoke and smelled wire burning. I use obd1 inj so no res box but I wired the inj to the yellow wires off my factory harness Andi know that was wrong now. But the problem now is I have no power and no dash light. The check engine light and brake light dowdy come on like before. Did I fry my ecu?

 

probly shorted a hot wire some where under the dash

 

Does the ecu light stay on at all times?
Can you hear the fuel pump priming at all?
If not, try using a different ECU.

 

Its a chipped ecu. I dont think there is a light on the ecu. Any ideas what wire in dash I could have shortted out?

 

Look for the blackened crispy one.

 

Please make sure your titles are specific..."need help" doesn't help anyone in the future that may have the same issue. Thank You

 

Basically you fried a wire and are now looking for a needle in a hay stack. You could continuity test the Hot wires and see if anything has continuity to ground. Its a start
