Default HELP PLEASE!!!

I was putting on my ETD and when I was done I tried to turn the car on but it stutters the stalls. Then I took it off and put everything back to the way it was originally. It sstill stuttered and stall then I tried taking it around the blok and the AFR read 10 the entire time. wat happened????

One other small detail was I was putting a chrome Cover over my air filuer and hit something that caused a spark. I think it may be electrical. Any input helpful.

did you have your battery disconnected while you were doing it? maybe you just need to let your ecu reset. disconnect the battery again for 10 minutes, then reconnect it and get it to start, and let it idle for 10 minutes, then maybe try taking it around the block.

really is strange, an etd has nothing to do with all that...is your piggyback ecu connection loose?

or maybe the etd hurt the piping somewhere around the engine and you have a leak somewhere?

sparks are usually bad, check all your fuses and a worse case scenario you fried something probably your MAF or other air system

I was worried about the MAF that was my first thought but Im praying it a fuse. my lights and everything keep dimming on and off so Im gonna stick to my theory of electrical.

yeah but IDk since the only fuse it could be if it is starting sputtering then dieing like that would be the 100amp battery fuse. And it would be a big shock to blow that one

well that's your problem right there.

you're right... it wasn't the etd at all...

my small guess is the maf got fried... hoping that a fuse saved it.. but dunno exactly where and what sparked... so yea... oops.

behind my air filter theres a fusebox for my audio. I hit somthing inside this circle. Wat I think may have happened is I touched awire connecting to the audo fuse bocx , then tochedsome thing else that could have shorted something
