I'm going to state the most obvious first, as if you haven't figured it out for yourself, but i bet you fried the battery.

Hey Tsi psi ... :) i replace battery fuel pump fuses what else is there..... .... ECU :| !?!?!?!

Have you tried to turn it over since you replaced all of that?

Ouch, that was a low blow hahah. I need some more information, what happens when you try to turn it over? Has anything changed since that? Or does it not turn over at all?

has to be a fuse somewhere, or a fryed wire. my spade connector fell off my starter once.... oh that was sooooo fun. call a flatbed, tell them to bring ramps. they forgot the ramps... lol those were the days. now i'm on a first name basis with a flat bed truck driver and he's on speed dial!!!

Hey yeah since then i tryed to turn it over all i get is a click click click click i dont know how to explain it but it trys but it dont turn over

Who in the hell hooks up jumper cables wrong? :screwy:

Take it to the dealer and let them tell you what's wrong, it could be so many things we would just be guessing at this point. Then come on here and post what they say, if it makes sense, then do it yourself if you can.

LoL apperently my friend does he needed a cool whip to impress his girlfriend ive known him since ye high and well i thought i was doing the right thing to help one of my best friends out.... But like i said it trys to turn over but wont thats all i got and i dont want to goto a dealer around here cause theyll tell me i need this and that for my car when i really dont

Ok, you can either go to a dealer and have them tell you what you need, or you can have a car that doesn't run. The choice seems obvious to me.

ok ill bring it to the dealer shop but how can i move it... ?? am i soposed to tow my car there hahah thatd be quite funny if you ask me or umm have them swing by my place after lunch eh ... lol anyways..

independent shops are generally a lot more knowledgable than dealers. Dealers are just a bunch of stooges who went through a training course and think they know alot about cars and then charge you like they actually know what the hell they're doing.

TY :> i believe the same but i brought it to my mechanic this morning he says i need a new ecu .... so i guess.. how much those costs thatll be it..what else could be fried along with it if it got to my ecu ?

he says i need a new ecu ....

That is about the most common response you can get from somebody that dosn't know what the problem is.

then u tell me whats wrong smartie

I have no idea what your problem is, but me or anyone on here could have told you to spend money and just start replacing shit and collect the labor charge. What is his reason for thinking it was the ecu? What else did he look at? Question you should have asked. That is how people get screwed over by shops, because they just assume they won't get taken advantage of.

Hes been my familys mechanic since i was like 2 and he knows what hes doing believe me if he says its an ecu its an ecu so idk why im fuckign here asking you

Then replace the fucking ecu and hope it works. If not, don't come crying.

if i were u i would check your fuses.

He's right about the ecu knowledge. I took mine to one shop who tried to screw me that way. "Oh it must be the ecu." They even wanted to charge $80 to put it in! I said screw em and went to another shop who found out it was the cam sensor. (A LOT cheaper..) But then again it could have caused perhaps an energy spike which can damage various electrical equipment.
