Symptoms indicates you most probably have a ground circuit somewhere that is not securely tightened.
Is the MIL indicating?

You would have to recheck your work. Might be a loose ground circuit some near the meter cluster.

Ok will give it a look over.. thanks alot for the advice man. Would this also be a cause to the poor engine performance?

Yes it could if the ground circuit is related to the engine control system.
