after trying to troubleshoot my car for a while now, i just realized that i soldered some inline resistors in with my ecu still plugged in and my battery connected. is it possible to burn out my chip/ecu... by doing this. my car wont start now and i dont believe my injectors are firing because my plugs are bone dry after i crank it for a few seconds...

 

.......

 

uhhh

 

i suppose it might be possible. when i finished soldering in my dsm 450's i realized i never unhooked my battery i was like ugh crap. but **** seems to be working

 

no, althought it's better not to solder a "live" circuit, I don't think you did any damage. your soldering tip just looks like a ground from an electrical standpoint. but since your car was not on while soldering there shouldn't be any injector pulses to short either way.

 

Won't hurt anything.

 

hey guys i gotta thank you for the replies. now i gotta troubleshoot some more. grr hehehe
