Get pics of the ***** you were messing with. That will help your answers out quite a bit more. Without knowing what you were messing with we can't help you.

Put the screwdriver down!!! Never turn anything you can't identify. If you just CAN'T control your desire to screw with it, at least count the turns, and note the direction, so you can easily go back to the starting point.

Get a picture and we'll see what we can do. This isn't a good car to 'experiment' on if you don't know what you're doing and what effect it will have...

It's an SE, with FI. Which is why I haven't offered any help, even though he can't be very far away..............
