Need help please. I have a 1998 Eagle Talon TSi with a few upgrades. Forced performance 18G, hard i/c pipes, 1g bov, 3in turbo back (no cat), fresh stock rebuild (about 10k on motor), Warlboro 190lph FP, and apexi afc II for tuning.
I am an idiot and when my alt/batt light came on i pulled the positive batt terminal with the motor running (stupid i know) but im used to working on non ecu (carburated vehicles).
When i pulled the batt terminal i know i got a voltage spike because the spike welded the points shut on the wiper motor. The vehicle continued to run but the wipers and cooling fans came on. When i blipped the throttle the fans/wipers sped up with the rpms, so i choked the car out using the Throttle body to kill the motor.
Now the car will not start, i have checked the fuel pump and mpfi relay as per service manual and checked all fuses including under the hood, is there any positive way to verify i fried my ecu, or is there anything i am neglecting to check before i buy a replacement?
thanks in advance for any insight/help with this issue.
