Icon6 95 del sol won't start after revving engine with battery disconnected

hey guys. first i like to say that i have searched all over thee web to find a clue as to how to go about this problem but i dont think its very common. i was driving my 95 del sol to work one day and noticed that the battery light would come on passing 4,5000 rpm. when i got to work i disconnected the battery to see if the starter was bad. motor kept running. when i got into the car i accidentally revved it with the battery disconnected. now the car wont start for crap. could anyone point me in the right direction as to where to start?

95 del sol si. original motor d16z6
swapped in a b18a1

i wanna get this car runnning again n make it my daily. my 08 passat is racking up the miles

any help would be apprciated

Running the engine with the battery disconnected should be strictly avoided as it can damage sensitive electrical components. The battery buffers the system from dramatic voltage spikes produced by the alternator.

I'd start by checking all your fuses and make sure you didn't blow one.

sorry. forgot to mention that acg fuse keeps blowing. replaced main fuel relay with brand new one. fuel pump is good cause when i hook up a 12v source it runs and pumps fuel.

going to replace alternator. doubt thats the problem since a car should run on the battery power but its under warranty so why not. gonna try this tomorrow. anything else i should possibly look at? injectors? dizzy? plugs? wires? any help is really appreciated
