Hey guys, I'm at work and I need an answer so I can see if I can get home.
I was messing with the wiring to my IACV at work, swapping the two wires back and forth to see if I had it right. Anyways, one of the wires touched metal on the intake manifold and a spark came out and the car died. Now the car turns but it just won't start. Please tell me I didn't fry me ECU.

Probably not. ECU's are usually pretty durable. Pop the cover off your fuse box under the hood and check the fuses. You probably just blew one of those large 30 or 60 amp fuses.

Thanks bro, I'm shaking right now at work. I'm so mad/nervous right now. Not doing too good with the customer service, lol. I just hope a good Spoon ECU didn't go to waste.
Yeah, ECU's are usually the last thing i suspect. They're designed to be somewhat immune to shorts, but sometimes it does happen. If nothing's blown under the hood, check the fuses under your dash as well. Good luck.
