cant get her to start

I purchased a hks twin power and after unplugging a number of wrong plugs i found the right one and got to installed. Here is the problem, after installing it i go to turn the key and it wont start. It sounds like it's turning over and smoke looking stuff that smells of raw feul is coming out of the exhaust. Now i checked my plugs they are all plugged in and everything. The only questionable thing with the harness would be on one of the plugs that i accidently unplugged I think it was like a 8 prong plug not sure but anyways one of the prongs was missing. Don't remeber if it was like that but that's the only thing that i could see that might cause it to not start. Also i don't know if this matters but i unbolted the wire that is connected to the generator to try to move it and see if it could clear up some of the looms of wire so i could see better, but after unbloting it, it touched the strut bar and a spark came off of it. Well that's all the info i say off the top of my head but I would really like to figure this out so i don't have to get a trailer or towtruck and take it to a shop.

thank you

You probably blew a fuse or an electronic component.

1. Don't mess with wiring with the battery connected!
2. The HKS only fits ONE plug in that entire area...
3. Is the HKS light lit up?

Check your fuses and relays. Use the FSM to troubleshoot.

Did you try unplugging the HKS Twin Power to see if it starts up again? One time I forgot to re-plug the TPS Sensor and the car wouldn't start.
