ok the other day i was redoing my short route intercooler piping on my car(the outlet side) and i got it all put back on and started the car. it ran fine for a little bit so i reved it up a few times and about the 3rd time i reved something happened and the car shut off.so i looked under the hood and saw a little smoke on the battery side(4g63 motor).it looks like where the boost control solenoid was unpluged it short out on a ground some where...so when a went to turn the ignition to acc it makes this straight humming noise..my safc and avc-r still come on and everything..so have i messed up my ecu or something..does anybody know what could be wrong??
 
im not sure now.because about a hour ago i replaced my battery terminals and now my car isn't doing a damn thing:mad: it acts like the batterys completly dead.but i mad sure the wires and everything were tight..
