Ok so this weekend got stuck into the wiring issue, while I was testing I was leaning through the driver side door and turning the key in the ignition I saw that the power would come on and off while doing this, so I squeezed my door card and power would go off and then releasing it and moving it away from the door the power would come back on, so took the door card off, unplugged the door harness and no more problems, YAY!!! Finally was just luck that I found it because would have never have suspected the door harness to cause the issue.
Thanks for all the help guys really appreciate all your input!!!

Yip, can't believe it caused me so many issues, think Im going to strip it and go through it very carefully to make sure this doesn't happen again.

It is an interesting problem I think , your car was running , tuned & ready iirc , than shut down problem out of nowhere ,that really bugged me.

I do not have electrical problem at the door,
the knowledge to know that a short in the door can make the car shut down like that, is precious , whoaw !!

I really wonder what exactly caused your problem , no fuse blew eh ?
Did you pin point the problem?

Hey bud, car was busy in the process of a rebuild but yes it ran fine before I stripped it, No fuses blew and the problem would be a massive current draw that would drop the voltage to the main fuse box to 1v from 12.6v.

I haven't looked into what the problem is in the door was just so happy I found the issue that I didn't look any further, I will be stripping the harness for the door this weekend to see if I can find anything and will be doing the same on the passenger door swell just to put my mind at ease.

Would you say your car was unmolested when you got it or was there some questionable work performed by previous owners? I ask because it seems like it would be the latter, but it wouldn't surprise me either way I suppose

Car was let me just say, completely fucked when I got it, had been outside in the elements for almost a year and the previous owner cheaped out on everything, I had no choice but to stripe and start fresh as everything from wiring done to nuts and bolts where all useless but I got it for a steal so can't complain.
