Menifee,

RESOLVED: It was not my CAS. Upon further testing I found that nothing in my engine bay was getting power. I looked to my ECU and it turns out my ECU is not getting power. This wiring job is pretty bad but it is not the culprit.
The car recently died on me and it got no fuel and no spark. I didn't touch it for a few days and it started up. I drove it for about a month with no problems then it died randomly on me again. Again no fuel and no spark. Each time the driving condition were normal.
Because of the symptoms I assumed it was a bad ECU and today I replaced it with what the seller had told me was a good ECU. I went to go start it and same deal as always the car just cranks no fuel no spark. The car has a 6 bolt swap and to be honest a pretty sh*tty wiring job. Here Is the wiring (PLEASE IGNORE THE WIRE NUTS THEY ARE TEMPORARY I WAS TRYING OTHER THINGS)
Coming from the CAS is red, white, yellow, and black wires. It splits into different connectors it appears, Judging off the from RRE it seems correct. The things I can't explain is it the cam sensor plug is not is not red black and blue it is red black and white coming off the harness. On the first photo, follow the green from photo to photo and look at this harness
It looks like 2 blacks 2 whites and 2 reds going into 1 black 1 white 1 red.
My main question here is, is there any main obvious reason I'm missing why I'm not getting power to the CAS? Also to check for power I tested multiple spots in the harness with a test light and volt meter. Didn't get a response from either and I tested all the wires while the car was cranking. Also keep in mind the car ran for a long time with it wired this way.
Update, I don't know if this will help. But it is pretty weird.
I discovered I'm not only not getting power to the CAS but I'm not getting power anywhere to the motor. The weird part is I pulled the ECU out so it is 100% disconnected. And the car does the exact same thing. Everything works windows radio it will even turn over.
Somebody tell me what's going on please.
