ca18det pro needed.

First sorry if long. I have a ca18det in my s13 coupe, when i put the motor in it ran fine no problem, now after 4 months it started having a problem, i checked the ecu and it said knock sensor, so i replaced that cleared the ecu to 5/5 lights, but it runs way rich to the point it sounds like a subaru and blows black smoke i replaced a lot of stuff, cas, coil packs, injectors, spark plugs, igniter, drop resistor,maf, and its still doing it, ecu still shows 5/5 lights, after 3 days before i replaced everything i could not get it to start and found that one of the wires was not getting power, now on the wiring fourm it shows that the heavy black w/ white wire goes to black w/white on the ka main 8 plug under the hood, but that plug does not have power witch is main ecu power, with it running on backup power from the red wire could i have cooked the ecu???, i tested that same black w/white wire on my friends car and also dont have power, i got the car to start by jumping that wire, but it still runs like crap, any ideas would be very helpfull, Thanks
