Help! Car wouldnt Start!
I was playing around with my O2 connection then Car stalled and I cannot start!... 
Mine is Euro Spec and an O2 sensor was added but it wasnt connected to the DME. Curious to see what difference would it make, I tried connecting the O2 sensor line (from sensor) to this other open line in the hood (to DME). This open line was connected to a shorted plug.
Anyway, I remove the plug and connect both the connectors together, IAFM readings differ but car runs fine.
Then I stopped with my motor still running..... Trying to return the O2 connections to where i was initially, the O2 was disconnected and while trying to plug in the shorted connector back to the O2 line from the DME..... MOTOR STALLED!
It happened when I was pushing and rotating the plug in, so that it "catches" in. <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> But I probably shorted the lines while doing this... that could be the reason as to why the motor stalls.
Could i have toasted the DME????
I tried everthing i could to start the car again but to no avail.... replaced DME relay, changed the DME chip, unplug DME (trying to reset, dont know if this is the correct way) etc... etc...
PLease help!!!... what happen???

special tool,
replced that, but still no start!
by the way, before the problem, motor was running fine. It stalls immediately after "screwing" the "shorted connector" into the o2sensor line to the DME.
HElp!!!
