well yeah it started off as i went to work and delivered something and then battery died, my friend came with jumper cables dunno why he didnt look but he put a postive on a negative on the battery smoke started comming out, i looked a saw it and took it off, didnt know what went wrong yet, so we swaped it to the right way and we charged the car, we got it running but the rpm and mphs werent moving, after work i tried to start the car and no go, notting turns on

what we changed was the fuel pump as it wasnt pumping gas, and i changed the fuel filter just in case. but when i start the car it'll bog and die, or if im lucky it'll start for 5 seconds and then bog and die. if i step on the gas while it is idling it'll die. the other weird thing is that if the check light is on i cant start the car i'll have to wait till it goes off then i can try and attempt to start the car. just alot of weird things. we changed the relay near the fuses under the dash.

and still notting

any1 knows why this is happening? .
 
Yeah sounds like your buddy should open his eyes step away from the bong before attempting anything eletrical lol, I would see what codes your throwing and go from there
 
well he did fry a couple fuses, my clock and my deck, but i havent had the chance to see what code its throwing yet i'll check on that and see what happens
 
man i am stressed out i have to get this car running in 2 days or else i aint got no ride, dam

just hope with my buddies comming to see they can find the problem

Why did you change the fuel pump if the battery was giving you trouble?
 
the fuel pump wasnt working, we tried giving it power threw the battery just to see if it'll pump but no go so we had to replace it
 
Sounds like you have some work to do. I would check everything, including the wire harness for smokieness
 
You have codes? Check them....it is far from anything difficult. This would start you in some kind of direction
 
eg problems

i would check engine harness and all needed wires also try using a diffrent ecu ecu controls alot if motherboard is fried or slightly fried it can have ur car acting crazy like it is
 
Cheese and Rice!!!!! Check the flippin' codes will you? We can act like everything is fried and just take the car to the junkyard....or you could start with the codes and see what it tells you.
 
After checking the ecu check out the dizzy, honestly I've seen a few people with similar problems which I had with my eg and it was the distributor, wouldn't hurt to check out, see if one of you're friends has an extra one.
