I am so CONFUSED!

To make a long story short, my dash wiring harness in my car (1991 3.1L) but it almost caught on fire it melted (yes i corrected the problem) then i replaced the dash wiring harness with a 1992 3.1L wiring harness, now when i crank the car dont want to run, if i do the crank lightly the engine will run very poorly, and then smoke comes out the intake, and it stops. I am confuse what does a dash wiring harness got to do with the engine timing, only thing i can really think of (and dont want to) is the ECM may have burned a little, the the distubuter and the timing wasnt touched, car been setting for about 1 1/2 months.
