code 42

I thought my 91 Z28 tpi 5.0L was ready to go, all of a sudden, it comes to a complete stop... i did pretty much as getting new ecm, distributor, spark plugs and wires, prom chip, ignition module, and a few sensors... how can i tell if im having a short, when all the wiring was redone on my z28? any few suggestions, charts or links?
