Default my problem LONG BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEE HELP ME

ok here is my problem and how it started....
my car was running cool and i had a VAFC but i pulled the engine to change the tranny, IM, clutch.... soo i do that and i switch the ground and hot wires and try to start the car.. it doesnt turn on.. i fix that and figure out my problem is a ground wire from the tranny... by this time i have take my vafc out to sell and i just snip all the wires.. since i didnt know what was wrong and why it wasnt starting i figure it could be the ecu so i restripped soldered yada yada the ecu... so now the ground is on and there is not a vafc anymore... the car starts and then i smell something burning and the CEL is on... so the ecu has been burnt (look at the pics from my last post)... car runs normal just a CEL on constantly... i check it and my iat sensor is melted (came with my skunk2 IM)... now my turbo setup is on with hondata on this burnt ecu... its running alright but very rich and the hondata light is blinking... so i go get a new ecu today and i hook it up and it smokes at the same spot as the other one but i turn the car off very quickly so there is no damage... and there is still a cel 10 iat but i replaced taht one and barely drove the car after i replaced it and i also checked it yada yada yada... do you think its cuz of my underdash harness? this is all i can conclude.... SORRY ABOUT THE LONG ****** STORY IM JUST SO PISSED OFF AND TIRED OF THIS **** I JUST WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR

when you took out the afc, did you put the map sensor wire back together?

Worth a shot. Did you make sure to hook all the wires back up properly when you removed the afc?

everything was perfect when i removed the vafc, i checked it over and over cuz i thought that was the problem it could be but shady wiring from the veit guy i bought it from now looks to be the culprit
