I took the engine out to replace the head gasket and one i got everything hooked up and i would not get spark but would get fuel. I checked to make sure the wiring on the CAS was good and sure enough it was. I decided to change the ground thats connected on the trans to the firewall and that is when things went sour. Told the wife to crank it to see if i that changed anything and all i got was smoke coming from under the intake manifold. I am thinking the smoke is from the resistor pack since now i am getting no fuel. So when ahead and tested the voltage at the cas and wasn't getting any. The boost gauge and check engine light are not turning on so that leads me to believe that the ecu may had gone bad. Is there anything else i should do? I have a black top cas that i will try tonight but font think that would make much of a difference since i am no getting any voltage to begging with. So any help or feed back would be great. Thanks
 
it sounds to me like you fried your ECU. when you turn the key in the ON position your CEL should come on for 5 seconds. id check that ground connection you redid from the transmission to the firewall, sounds like thats what started this headache... and i wouldn't want to start frying ECU's if i were you.

:dsm:
 
I'll be sending the ecu back to get worked on. But I still wasent getting any spark before I grounded that one ground to the firewall.
