Screwed up while removing upper intake manifold
Mazda RX-7 FD '96 Chuki
In all honesty I did the most stupid thing a man could ever do. While I was trying to remove the upper intake manifold, I did NOT disconnect the battery while doing so (reconnected it earlier to move the car).
So while trying to remove the upper intake manifold, I hear a "poof" and a flash of white/blue-ish light coming from directly underneath the manifold...
Any idea what it could be?

I think that my biggest problem is that I already start stressing before I even start. Since it's a Chuki, most parts that I order don't fit.

Zenki = before
Chuki = in between
Kouki = after

Hope you didn't short anything important and the fuses too all the heat. Ive seen a few people make contact with the alternator and give a little flash. Check fuses and hope for the best! Nice build!!

weird thing is that I didn't hit the alternator post, I moved it to the right, straigth towards the firewall. Could it be I touched the grounding wire?
