car having issues, help needed

I recently got a ecu tuned and while it was out I had to constantly move the car, instead of being smart about it I didnt disconnect the battery and everytime I used the key so I could move the car without the wheel locking up. I got the ecu back and the car was flooded and fouled my plugs, so at the same time I decided to hook up the crane hi-6 to (2) lx92 coils for the leading coil. I could only find (3) bur9eq plugs in stock and grabbed (1) bur7eq plug just so I could get it running. I had to replace the two wires as well with longer wires so I could reach where I mounted the coils. Everything seemed to go well, I started the car and it fires right up, no smoke or anything, but now instead having a smooth rev up it feels like its breaking up, and once it is reved past 3k rpms the abs light comes on (this only happens once its reved past 3k. The car idles fine but breaks up when the throttle is pressed. Any ideas? could it be the one bur7eq plug? the (2) lx92 coils off of one crane hi-6? or what else? Im completely confused.

Ok there is a few possibilities behind this... first off depending on where you mounted your coils... your ignition spark could be grounding out after enough energy has been produced... this happened to me. it was grounding out to both the master brake cylinder and also the oil filter... what kind of wire are you using?
As a suggestion you might want to try wrapping all of the wire ends w/ electrical tape...

-----<{ Before
---xxx{ After

The shock that would be produced could give out enough RF to freak your engine out....

This actually could be it after thinking about it since if your coil grounds out to your master cylinder it could run through your metal brake lines to your abs pump... if that doesn't work pm me...

that sounds like a good suggestion I will do that tommorrow, I will electrical tape and split loom the wires. I used v8 wires from a local shop, I forgot to mention that the car starts fine but then the rpms drop and the car stalls, once it starts everything idles fine
