Re: Gauges dropped engine died
Is your Check Engine Light on at all?
When you listen in on the back seat, do you hear the fuel pump kicking in? Do you have spark?

Re: Gauges dropped engine died
Check Engine light Is on now..yes..Im not sure about the fuel pump running. Is there a fuse which would do all this? The car was purchased with a bad ECU and the ECU in it now came from a junk yard

Re: Gauges dropped engine died
I would get or rent some sort of CEL tester. If the car doesn't run, I believe you can rent them at Autozone for pretty cheap. That would be your best bet to see what's causing the CEL to trip before checking anything else. I bet that leads straight to your problem.
