Need advice .
Okay so last summer I purchased a Mazda rx 7 with 80 k miles in excellent condition . It was kept in a garage that stayed room temperature all year long . The car sat for 8 years was started and ran on the regular except a couple years owners got lazy . I brought it home and I have done a lot of work getting it ready to run . How ever I ran into one small problem that might have messed everything up . My heater core went bad on it so I changed it with a brand new one . My dad helped me then the heater vent door motor went and replaced that as well . No here's were it gets crazy I drove the car to work one morning the cars been running great but my coolant was low no leaks so I added more same thing for the rest of week every day finally I figure out one of the hose clamps were tight enough dads fault lol . By this time the weekend comes up I pull into my father rpms reving up and down smell like a burning plastic smell or rubber something's fried . And cookainbehind my seat both sides more the passenger side and a lot of it four or five inches o. Passenger side . After that day nothing's working and fuses are blown . Is it possible that the coolant got in the ecu board on passenger side and fried it ? Need help please guys . After this no one else will be helping me with car I do everything myself .

Sorry for the poor structure bro . I am using my iPhone with my daughter climbing all over me . Also my phone has a mind of its own . I was never the best at grammar anyways . However you get what I'm saying thanks for the help no reason to be a stickler . Thanks ...

Okay so here are some of the signs that happen before the car went totally dead. My seatbelt buckle light wouldn't work . It was stuck on . Fuses popped here and there . The clock stopped working . The lighter stopped working and the stereo stopped . I check ed for power at the coil packs and nothing . However if you turn the key the starter and fuel pump still sound like they are working . How many cpus are there ? Witch ones should I look at first ? Or is that the ecu shitting the bed ?
