Car loss power and now dont wanna start *Update*
Ok so after 3 week of looking, checking and replacing alot of small stuff like injectors, spark plus, fuel pump, tb, maf and utec, we finally found what it was. 
A Zip tide under the car came of, and some cables where resting on the side of my crosspipe, making some cables melt. out of all the cables, only 2 melted together. so the mechanic say to check the ecu because he can't think of anything else, so i did. send my ecu to a company and 2 days later the call me and say " your ecu is frie beyond repair".
when to ebay, got me a new ecu, and now we are waiting for it to get here and i hope that the end of it. 
the cables have been fix and heatwrap so this dont happen in the future. to be honest i feel like heatwraping the full engine bay!
lol
i wanna thank all the guys that help and try to help over the forums!

Wow-didnt think it would fry the ECU, I would have imagined the car would have thrown a code for an O2 sensor but kept running....thanks for the update, let us know how it turns out!

there's voltage running on those lines.
up can fill in the rest. Doesnt need to fry the entire ECU, just those circuits.
i fried my UTEC and Ecu when my IVT wires shorted from a shredding blower belt.

so did it throw a code? cuz im getting crap power too...just spent a **** ton of money replacing sensors and **** and nothing has helped...and its still not throwing a code
If the ecu goes bad, doesn't mean that is gonna throw a code. my code was the o2 sensor and look what happend.
we came to the conclusion of sending the ecu to repair because all the problems we found happend in the start up or below 3k rpm. we first say that was the utec, but the utec only kicks in at 3k rpm or under boost.
cracka, try to datalog, thats what we did and found alot of wrong stuff

Some friends i call around say that the first thing u wanna do when u run a Utec, is to get familiar with ur dashboard screen and try to make some copies of ur datalog, of some runs on ur computer, that way if anything goes wrong with ur car or u think is acting up, u can go to the files in ur computer and compare the data and u can see if the dashboard looks the same or if anything change.
