That's wrong in so many ways that it makes me wonder why you created an account just to post this one message here.

... just for your benefit:
- You need to have the right person (2nd person)
- Indirect questions are in the subjunctive in Latin
- Indirect questions follow the sequence of tenses. The perfect subjunctive expresses anteriority to a verb in a main tempus (present, future or future II) in the clause superordinate to the indirect question. That's why it is feceris.
- You would use the pluperfect subjunctive if the verb in the main clause were in a secondary tense (perfect, pluperfect or imperfect): sciebam quid fecisses = "I knew what you had done".
