Hello ,
My battery was recently shorted to ground with a crescent wrench . The result is the engine will not start now . It turns over , but no spark . The other symptom I have observed is that the gas gauge stays pegged above full . I have substituted the ECU and Igniter and have the same results .
I believe there is an electrical problem somewhere , but I have been unsuccessful in finding it . I have done the spark test on each spark plug and there is apparently no fire . I did the test from the secondary of the HVT and it has fire , but seems very weak . The voltage to the primary of the hvt is a good 13.6 volts dc. It looks like the ECU is performing correctly , but the fire remains weak .
Any Ideas ?

First off, welcome to AF!
Check the fuses under the hood, especially the "EFI" and "AM2" fuses. Also check that the igniter was not fried during the mishap.
Good luck!
