Alright soo today i was trying to get my oil pressure wire connected and when i go to start the car the starter just clicks.. click, and then starts soo i jacked the car back up to check everything, and i unhooked the power side with the (Nut) and i totally forgot to unplug the batter.. long story short it touched the housing and sparks flew..

Now even with the key on no power, no nothing happens the car is completely dead.. Now im just wondering if this could have fried my pcm?? i have a 90 S5 N/A any input is appreciated.
