I was tuning the car after swaping to a blow through MAF setup, when the car suddenly died. There is no fuel, no spark, Little green and red lights on the ECU are not coming on.
I checked all the fuses and found one blown... so I replaced it, but nothing changed.
The fuel pump comes on, but there is no spark and the injectors are not firing. MAF is getting no voltage, and I don't think the coil is either. The ECU is getting voltage and turning on the fuel pump though, but it does not cycle the fuel pump. If the key is on, the fuel pump is on. It does not turn off after 5 seconds or whatever it is suposed to do. Weird.
The ECU is 100% fine. I ran another car off of it. There is nothing on the ECU's board that is fried or burned. It is fine.
I found two pretty serious problems when I inspected the car. A wire from the MAF (black with white stripe) was melted by the exhaust manifold and the wires were exposed, and a small amount of fuel had leaked onto the distributor connector (4 pin connector to the ECU)
Would the CAS have shorted out if fuel had leaked into it's connector? Is there a main relay that powers up all the sensors that could have gone bad while I was drving? What else could possibly cause this? I'm thinking CAS, as a bad one would cause all of these problems minus the lights on the ECU not coming on.
