I sure hope your poking around did not harm something.

I was trying to use my voltmeter on the airflow sensor connect to check for a bad ground and I ended up frying the ECM.

I had to replace the ECM in the trunk/Security computer under drivers seat and the ignition module as they are all a matched set.

I fortunately found a set for my model and year for $350 from a dismantler.
