Default Attempted Theft

I have an automatic 1993 Honda Civic EX. Last night someone broke into it and tried disabling the alarm by pullin out some wires from under the passenger side dash. They're disconnected but i can't figure out from where. They ended up disconnecting the battery to turn off the alarm but now my car wont start. It wont turn over? any ideas?

they probably jerked some wires out of the ecu plugs or pulled the whole plug out. pull back your carpet and check all the wires going to the ecu.

Yeah man those plugs look like they go to your ecu. No biggy though go cop another one from a junk yard if your ecu was stock.

no ecu will ALWAYS means your car is not gonna do ****. lol of course its not gonna start or crank over with no ecu!! its like you typing this thread without a brain...it wouldn't happen. go buy another auto p28 and everything will be perfect. the wires aren't cut or anything so all you do is plug them in and put it back in place.

Actually the car will crank but without a ECU it will keep it from getting spark and fuel. After installing the new computer if the car doesnt crank still check your alarm wiring cause most alarms come with a starter kill . . .
