start by checking all of the engine area fuses in the fuse box. Its right by the leading and trailing coils.

If that checks out.. well ****.

then you may be in luck... that cut off the circuit to the whole car... change that fuse and most likely you'll be back in business...

That and you might have blown the interior fuse... it's in the ungodly-hard-to-find fusebox under the driver's side... it's all the way against the firewall above the dead-pedal.

If you are lucky, you didn't destroy the ECU.

start by replacing all the blown fuses, i accidentally crossed my wires and it didn't do any damage at all so you may be in luck.
