    Does the car still try and turn over?, have you checked the fusible links as well in the engine bay.

    A lot of what you are missing is controlled through the ECU , including the check engine light and fuel pump relay. You may have inadvertently fried the ECU if all the fuses, fusible links and relays check out. Before you look to replace this though make sure all your connections are OK including any earths that may have been disconnected then double check everything again including the fuel pump in case it died when using gas for extended periods.

    all the fuses and relays are good and the fuel pump should be fine because it started before i put the new loom in and disconnected the gas wiring and i will check for power at the fuel pump its self in the morning if i cant figure it out looks like im going 2 an auto elec

    bet its an easy fix on the loom where the ecu plugs into it is a plug that plugs into the dash loom (about 20cm away from ecu plugs) and feeds ignition power to the ecu and also does all the check engine light and auto trans wiring etc most people dont plug it in LOL there is also the aldl plug in the same area of loom but its a small plug
