Default 98 camaro dead short turns into dead car????

i'm in need of some help here guys, any ideas are appretiated.

short run down:

-car stumbles a few times and dash/gauges flash on and off.

-alternator power wire grounds out on a power steering line.

-car now barely starts and idles horribly rough if at all and dies...

the kicker here is, not one fuse or fuseable link is popped or burnt??? all electrical pathways through the fuseblocks are in good working order.

so far i've replaced; ecu, MAF, MAP, TPS. and scanned the sensors and ecu operation via hp tuners, everything checks out and is with operating parameters as far as i can tell.

now i haven't checked all pins through the harness, but seriously? i would think with after a week of poking, prodding, and scanning i would have been able to find the one little turd of a culprit thats ruining my car?

any thoughts or ideas to go and try out? thanks...
