so i posted a couple days ago bout spark plug concerns.. which is now the least of my worries... so i was at the street races in st. louis.. (n i dont street race i just like watchin) but anyways.. ppl wer messin around so i decided to join in the burnout fun.. get up there 5k and drop the clutch.. instantly it falls on it face i hit the clutch immediately and it iddles wierd for a few seconds then sputters out ann dies and wont start.. but while it was sputtering for a few secconds the CEL was flashing everytime it would fire... but every time i try and start it there is a relay going crazy and it sounds like its coming from under my dash... but no the motor isnt ceized and i didnt throw a rod..
could it possibly the ecu went bad
or possibly losing compression from *** could possibly be fried rings???
but im gonna go pick the car up in the morning and get into it..
any feedback will be greatly appreciated...

so i got the b14 fixed today... turns out the plug on the MAF would rub the master cylinder under hard acceleration due to the motor torquing real bad.. finally rubbed the the rubber on the wires and grounded itsself out and blew the fuse to the ECU... 10 dollar fix with brand new plug and conectors... along with a bunch of electrical ape to protect it a lil bit from future driving...

Motor moving a lot means you need to check your mounts.
BTW, spectators are an encouragement to street racers, so even if you don't race, you are contributing to the problem.

yea mounts are on the to-do-list as soon as i start working again.. and i *** i am contributing in some ways but at least im not gettin all crazy.. a burnout here an there is better than actually racing
