Default car not running right help

first of all its a 89 2wd cossie. it went in to abc motorsports to put the engine back together, they said they couldnt get it started and my engine loom was at fault so they changed it.

the one they changed it to was bodged at the coil wires and it had a nut and bolt on in, which when i was driving fell down to the coil and welded itself to it and frying my loom. 600 pound down the toilet coz of the robbing bodgit cunts

any way i got a new loom off of steve escos off here (cheers mate) but it was from a 3dr so had to change the plug by the ecu plug.

put it all in the car and the car fired up first time and then when i drove it out of my garden as soon as it put the throotle down and foot off the cluth it dies

i can drive it by giving hardly any throttle slowly but as soon as i do it just cuts out completely

now the loom was the same apart from the coil wires (so i moved the coil up near the battery) and i dunno what its called (its underneeth the header tank on a bracket). well the one thats under the header tank had a sort of earth strap so i put it to earth, but the long ecu plug has got one aswell, does this need to be earthed? if so where to, ive bolted this down to the ecu bracket but dont know weather its earthed or not(as you take the cover off, what the ecu is bolted to)

so has anyone got any ideas of what i could do or what it could be?

i dont know what all the sensors are called or where there located as im newish to cossie ownership lol

cheers
