I was disconnecting the positive terminal on the battery and the handle touched some metal thing thats connected by the passenger headlight, it got stuck so I pulled it off and there was a little smoke. Then I went to start the car and when I started it, it there was smoke coming from the ingnition.. i turned it off and its been acting up ever since. I checked the wiring around the ignition for burnt wires but nothing, I checked under the hood for burnt wires around the headlights and nothing, Im going to take it to this guy today who is supposedly good with electrical stuff.. im praying there's a cure.lol

That's good. I absolutely hate troubleshooting shorts! Such a pain in the butt! One time my intake grounded out against the frame while it was touching the battery. That was fun! Ever since then I've relocated the batt. Ef's have no space for an intake
