Heres the story....
got the 93 fd a few weeks ago, did the oil change, plugs wires, the whole tune up, shibang. car ran amazing until today when i pulled into a car wash to wash it myself and the wheel had apparently been rubbing the main chassis harness for awhile(didnt think to check that) and when i turned to the right to turn in it finished off the harness by chewing the insulation off most of the wires. I pulled the looming back fixed all wires(the right way), and it will crank for days but no start. THE FUEL PUMP IS RUNNING, but i have no spark and i have no fuel smell so i would assume injectors arent opening. I dont think my cas is getting power and my ignitor is getting power. IM at a loss and have no idea wat else to check. anybody know what it could be? checked the relays circuit relay and egi main relay and im pretty sure theyre good. both click when key is turned on. No cel either.

i checked every wire possible today took about 6 hours. I pulled the case off the ecu today and found a burnt capacitor. I'm pretty sure thats my issue. I am trying my buddy's ecu this weekend to see if it works. Thanks for the response. ill keep updated.

I replaced the ecu and it started ran rough for a minute and smoked. but let it warm up and run it runs amazing now. If you have this problem i encourage you guys to check the ecu first.
