hi guys!!
i've been working hard last night from 9pm to 3:30 am this morning to put my new downpipe on and all the turbo components.. i was so exited to feel the result.. so i started the car and drove a few meters then suddenly the engine died! no power at all! since the battery was weak i tried to jump start it with my 600cc bike. so it started again then after a few seconds the engine died again also my bike died too!! the battery terminals sparking!! there seems to be a short in the system. so i waited for a while connected the jumper cables, the sparkings where gone! i started the car then after a few second the same thing happens!!!! AND NOW! my car wont start at all! it just keeps on cranking.. could my ECU be fried? do ECUs easily get distroyed?

If the car started and drove a few meters, it does not sound like your battery.

Have you checked for vacuum leaks?
If you have a big leak, you will not be able to keep the car running at idle.

Can you start it and keep it running if you keep giving it gas?

Well, i just got back from test driving.. my car has started, the problem was the alternator causing a short..
