So I did a bunch of work to my car I did the cooling system, mess under intake, timing system and added an SSSquid chip with some 4 pintle 19#injectors. Every thing was great car ran like a raped ape for 200+ miles my only issue was my lower timing cover gasket did seal for some reason so I had to replace it. After replacing the gasket I got it all back together and fired it up and it was absolutely horrible, The brake fluid, ABS and battery light all come on and stay on until I touch the throttle then they shut off regardless of throttle input it all idled like crap very low like 300 rpm. I checked the alt and the voltage regulator was weak so i put a new one in and still have the same issues. Then one day I was sitting in the car and held the rpm's to around 2500 and could smell something hot. I got out and my headers were cherry red and the car wasn't even at OP temp yet. I thought maybe my cat was plugged because after it did that i rolled down my drive way and tried to drive up it and the car wanted to go no where at all. I gutted out my cat because I don't have emissions here and that was simplest solution and still at my headers get red hot really fast and I have zero power. I checked my plugs and they are showing a lean mixture. I unplugged my cam sensor to make it run rich and this time my headers took a little longer to get hot but they still did. I ohm'd my crank sensor and my reading was .561 ohms and yet the car can still start? I really have no clue what is going on with this thing. Could my crank sensor be causing my ignition timing to be off causing the really lean mixture? There is no way my mechanical timing is off as I used proper tools the first time and got 200 amazing miles out of it before simply unplugging my cam and crank sensors and replacing the gaskets. I'm really scratching my head with this one. If you go off the theory of it has to be something i touched when doing gaskets then the cam and crank sensor are the only two things i touched that could cause this and my sensor is out of spec but I have never heard of a sensor doing this before and dont wanna shot gun the car with more parts i already put a ton of cash in it.
edit: i should also add that a couple of times upon dropping the e brake my lights on the dash turned off I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or not
