Default O2 Sensor wires touched each other..burnt up and now car is not firing.

o2 Sensor fell out of hole, Wrapped around CV axle, Wires touched each other , started smoking, and now im not even getting fire to my distributor.. Im lost? What else could have burnt up if it was just the o2 wires that were burnt?
motor is a D15 SOHC Turbo. With a bunch of mods. 93 Honda Del Sol.
Anyone got any suggestions?

What happened? After it wrapped around the axle did it rip up the harness or did it just rip the O2 wiring? I would look around under the hood and check all connections and check your main fuses. If the two wires from the harness touched each other it could have caused a short and set off a fuse.

I think i have found the problem... I chased the green and white wire, which was the o2 wire that was burnt up and i chased it..allllll the way back to my computer.... I am working on ripping that wire out and checking to see if it will fire. Note: I have a SOHC motor non "vtec" . But , im guessing im going to need a new computer.. possibly a new wiring harness. But I gotta buy hondata anyway but never get around to it. So i guess this is gonna speed my process up in getting the hondata.
