OK so the short of it is, i think i may have crossed the wires somewhere and was curious how do i test if i have fried the computer?
97-I6
144K
Turns over just fine, over and over matter of fact.
crossed the ground to the chassis for the battery onto the hot side terminal of my yello top and smoke came out below/behind the engine, at what looked like the firewall.. but in the engine compartment.
Just got it fixed from a previouse no start and it was the camshaft sensor. Worked flawlessly. Till i fubarred it again.
So 1st and 2nd time starting it after the smoke it started and idled super high at 2.5K then 3rd and 4th and on times is just turnes over.. i havnt tested anything. but i cant figure out what would smoke from that area of the engine basically looked to be dead on on the end of the engine but down.. maybe the Crank PS.
So ill fill in more details after a few but i was wondering if there was any was to test if the ECU/Computer is fried? i called my NAPA guys and after they laughed a little they said it could be anything all the way around as far as solenoids and fuses, and he thought the computer was almost for sure fried.
thoughts?
