Hey guys,

So I left my charger on the battery and the hood closed shut squeezing the charger clamp and created a short circuit.

It left a paint bubble on my hood and completely fried the charging cable off the clamp and melted all the plastics on the charger.

Now the car runs like crap.

Where do I start looking?

logger reads @ idle,

25mhz maf, 0.24gm/rev
650rpm (set to 850)
timing 13.1

When I give throttle and left off, the car cant "catch" itself and dies right away.

Thanks

*Edit, checked all fuses
PTU ok, tried with a spare.
 
Check your alternator fuse, that usually pops when it arcs like that. Sometimes you have to take it off before you even see that it's broken. It might be running like crap because your battery is running out of juice.
