Help!!!! Help!!!! Help!!!!

I need help. I have a 2008 toyota yaris HB. I put the zage turbo in it. I unplugged the ECU but never cut any wires. I put the ECU plugs back in after we located every wire and tried starting it back up and nothing happened. Now the car wont start at all and no power going to the dash at all.

First of all, check the connections you made. Second of all, check fuses.

+1 for fuses. Start with the two big ones on the positive battery terminal.

From there, check EFI, AM2, DOME and ECU-B (in the under hood panel).

There is an immobilizer. Try (this is just my theory) putting the key in the ignition, sitting in the drivers seat, and buckling up.

My bro-in-law did something similar (just google how to deal with an oem immobilizer).

The immobilizer will allow you to crank the engine, but it will not start. Everything else will work though (including everything on the dash).

If it is cranking, starting and then immediately dying, it may be your fuel management. What are you running?

Much better it something simple like that than something super expensive.

that can happen. i was stuck in a bind a couple years back and had a shop do an oil change for me. my charge piping runs along the filter point so they had disco'ed my charge piping to add oil. they didn't tighten the charge pipe solid enough so it gave me all sorts of headaches for a couple days and i got really worried...then under load the pipe popped out...yup....that was a funny day.
