I have seen where the main ground wire on the engine itself was corroded behind the terminal and would not make contact I know it would be a pain but check every ground on engine for corrosion and tightness and also the main wireharness from control box to engine there notorious for broken wires where it is ran threw under the haul

I'm pretty sure it's got to be a wiring harness. I'm taking it to a shop to diagnose it tomorrow. I haven't had time to mess with it much this week

It was a short in the wiring harness between the motor and the ignition. It got fixed. Big thanks to Southern151 for the recommendation of the shop. I had to drive to prairieville, but I brought it at lunch time and was driving home with it by 430

Glad you got it man! Every yr I take my harnesses apart and fill em with electric grease. Just a heads up. Leaves em always looking new
