Default Possible ground problems on obd2 to obd1 change over!! bad sparks on some ground wires around the en

Ok, as soon as I thought I was done I plugged up the battery to try to crank the car on. So I put the + on first and then the negative after and I noticed that there was sparks coming out one of the spark plug holes which is the num 1 cylinder which I left open, and also one of the ground wires in front of the engine bay right next to the ground wire that goes to the valve cover. Not only did I get sparks I had a amp wire which got totally burned and it was conected to the +. WTF???? Could be wrong. I do have grounds on the tranny, valve cover, never took of the ground of the alternator. Could bad distributor wiring make this happen. I did wire up the and matched up colors to the obd1 dizzy from the obd2 plug. I just did a search and my wiring might be wrong???

Yes, you probably have a short somewhere. At least you didnt start any fires, but hopefully your ECU isnt toast, and hopefully you didnt blow TOO many fuses.
