i also build a phone in my car for that i had to open some parts of the dash,is it posible that i hit some control module of the engine ???

all ideas welcome !!!!!!!!!!!

the obvious place to start is to alternately disable each side of the motor and see if the problem is isolated to one side only, i.e., if you disable that side and there is no affect on drivability, then that side is bad. From there, check spark, fuel and air supply to determine which of these things is not being properly supplied.
