Default Touched distributor to battery..question

I went to install my dizzy and touched my socket on the positive battery terminal. Im not sure if this is related, but long story short i just got my ecu back after giving it to a mechanic as collateral for a week, and now i have a code 16 and no start. Could this be from touching the dizzy to battery?

Code 16 is the fuel system. You sure you got the right ECU back?

Never had the code before? Did the dizzy touch the battery? Or just your socket? And FYI, when working on a car; especially electronics, disconnect the ground from the battery.

just the socket touched the battery but it was on the dizzy bolt and sparked and left a nice spot in the ratchet. The main relay clicks, so I assume that cant be the problem. The code wasnt there before. I also installed ac while i didnt have my ecu. Maybe thats messing it up?

Could be in the wiring maybe. Have you checked the fuse? Whats it doing when you try and turn it over?

Hmm, definitely sounds like your problem is in the dizzy. Good luck.
