Hey there guys, new to DSMTuners and glad to finally have made an account. I just recently bought a 1997 2G GST for $1200. the guy i bought it from said it wasnt running because of the coilpack. once i got home i tried to crank the car but nothing happened. i know i was pressing the clutch all the way in, so i figured it might have a dead battery. i connected the jump starter box to it and tried to crank it. again nothing happened. none of the dashboard lights turned on either. the next day i connected the scanner to try and see if the ecu would give me any codes, but it wasnt linking. i decided to check the ecu to see if it was plugged right. while i was there i opened up the cover and i saw that there was a burnt spot on the ecu. i figured this was the cause of why the car wasnt starting. i have already ordered a new ecu but i know i have to find what caused it to burn out. any ideas?
