I had just hooked everything up with the WS engine harness and its an auto to manual swap as well so i wired in a push button start. It was cranking fine for a day(not turning over tho) but there was no spark. Next day when I go out there and tinker with it, I push the Start button and the dash lights go off when i do that. I press it again and they stayed off.

Now there are no dash lights, fuel pump doesnt come on, starter wont crank, nothing. I have no idea what happened. It makes no sense to me. Can anyone help me here?

check your battery, fuses and wire connections, including grounds. seems like you blew one of the big square fuses or the battery is dead. or as simple as battery terminal clamps loose.

Battery clamps are tight, Battery is at correct voltage. No fuses are blown. I have Intake Manifold Grounds, Ground by ecu, Ground by drivers side fuse box, Lower harness ground, ground by truck latch (thats all i can think of off my head.

check power in and out of ignition switch. use a voltmeter to check voltage in the back of the ignition key tumbler where the big 10 gauge wires are soldered.

I got my power back and the car is now cranking again. I have Spark and Air and voltage to the Injectors but I don't think the injectors are firing because I can't hear them click via screwdriver test. I'm thinking there is something to do with this "ORANGE" start signal wire I keep reading about. I had read something that it needs to be cut and wired to the ignition or something? I wouldnt think that would have to happen tho.
