89 s13 ka24e

Not sure what went wrong here. I went to go start up my car and it was having trouble, started up when I opened the throttle. It has trouble everytime now, especially when cold. Idles just fine but tach stopped working as well as the temp gauge. Also the engine cuts out when I rev it higher. I can rev it higher in a lower gear. Once I get up to 60mph in 4th the engine cuts out.

This just started yesterday, all I did was clean the car and put the kick panel on the ecu back on. The day before I filled up with 89 instead of 87 gas and I also dumped seafoam in the oil and gas tank. 1/2 a bottle for each. It actually seemed to respond better after doing all that until the next day when this started. Also when I put the kick panel on I adjusted the idle screw with everything off and turned it down a quarter of the way. Was right in the middle before.

I don't think it's either the seafoam or the ecu, unless it's both that caused problems at the same time. I'm confused and not sure where to start yet.

My dumbass unplugged the white plug that goes from the loom to the cluster and everything else. Not sure how it was disconnected from bolting the ecu back up and installing the kick panel but it was
