I installed stock headlights today, whilst I installed I had the battery disconnected. I got finished, and I started to install the battery and I went down to far and accidentally bridged the positive to the ECU. This is definitely a mistake to learn from. I unplugged my wires from ECU, and smelled inside and it didn’t smell burnt inside, so I didn’t fry it. I made sure my terminals were all tightened down on the post and I started the car, but when I started it, the car would barely start and idle. I checked all the fuses in the fuse box and none were busted. I can smell gas, so it’s getting gas, but I’m not 100% sure as to why this happening. Maybe I shorted the coil pack? It’s a 420a Engine. Thank you all very much. Definitely a mistake to learn from.
