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..
 
Two Days ago i was coming back home from work when all of a sudden my car kinds stalls and turns on again 10 seconds later it dies. I try to fire it up cranks for about 2 seconds and the it fires up couple seconds later it dies again but this time it just keeps cranking and woulnt fire any clue to what this might be a bad ecu? Yestaurday i wanted to see if my dsm will start it started right up 1500 rpm for about 2 seconds then it droped down to 1200 then 800 and died i try to fire it up again nothing just keeps cranking
