I Have A Big Problem!!!! Help!!!!!

Okay i was working on the 7 replacing the stock fpr to a sard fpr. Got that all in and it wasn't holding idle. So i decided to put the stock one back in and see if it was the fpr that was bad, that's when everything went to Sh*t. Tried to start the car, it would turn, but never turn over(sounds like its not getting gas). saw that i was on E for the gas meter, so i when to get one gallon to fill it up. Tried again and nothing. Checked the fuses, pulled a 15A fuse for the illum for the cluster, and i heard a boom! Something shorted and now I'm scared to even try to start the car. I turn on the ignition, and i don't hear anything(i think your suppose to hear the whining of the fuel pump or something. So i check my head lights. Doesn't even flip up when i turn it, i turn the **** above it to see if it goes up, doesn't..... but when i turn off the head lights it goes up! so i turn it back on and the lights come on, turn it off lights turn off but head lights still stays up, and now i hear a high sound whining sound. then i turn off the head light lock. and my head lights go down one at a time. tried my turn signals and everything time it blinks the whining sound goes with it.

I check the fuses the mains and the fuses box in the car, and doesn't seem to be a blown fuse. Anyone have any ideas on what the F it is?????

A boom? uh.. Where did the boom come from?

Did a cloud of smoke come with it. Is the battery leaking acid all over the car? Theres a few things I can think of that *might* go boom.. but none of them explode without making a big mess of things. Give us some more details.

yeah, not enough clear information on what is happening, but it sounds like the motor is flooded and the battery is dead.

well, the battery isn't dead i checked that already, and the boom came from the back of the car, so i think it mite be from the fuel pump or speakers.
