[s'ko]

here is the order of events

car stalled @ light. wife tried to restart & engine spun freely.
towed home. i noticed ground to chassis was bare wire (insulation was melted thru)
battery tray & battery housing was damaged by the hot wire. also noticed no cel.
replaced the battery & the chassis grnd

the following is what has been done

1) Replaced the cable going from the battery to the rear of the
starter.
2) cleaned and remounted the chassis battery wire
3) Double checked fusible links and fuses (all good to go)
4) Place a wire from the neg. terminal and placed it onto the ground at
the rear
of the passenger side intake manifold.
5) replaced the ECU w/another ECU from a spare car.

I still do not have CEL or engine start-up.

Anything else someone can think of?

Would the theft prevention system keep the car from starting.
I do not have a remote for it to turn off the alarm.

Thanks

BTW wife needs a car tomorrow so any help would be appreciated.
