I was in a hurry and didnt disconnect the battery when replacing the ignition coil. I touched the two wire underneath and something blew. Car wont start now, engine turns but no spark. is there a fuse or do i need a new ICM? thanks

Did you check for a blown fuse? Check for power going to the coil...

this all started because it was misfiring on all cylinders. replaced the plugs first

ok so i found a blown fuse.

car barely starts and misses bad now. checked the voltage on the pos and neg wires from the ICM to coil and get nothing. did I fry the ICM?
