If it is causing a short in the car, it might be affecting the electrical system. If it was just bad, then yeah it could start with a CEL, but having fried wires touching could cause a bigger problem and a future fire.
Check one of Jeff's Abaz old setups on a CRX, the two battery poles touched the hood and started a fire, it's a similar idea, but on a smaller scale.

i dont get the hidden camera part.... but my bro and my firend that is over dont get it either.. so what am i missing?
*edit* my dad doesnt get it either

alright, i got impatient and took another long look at it..... turns out 3 plug wires were grounding out because they had burn holes in them. so I fixed that and cranked it over.... still no luck....

I have spark at the coil and at at least plug 1 and 3.
I have fuel at least into the rail.
I have a signal going to at least one injector
I have 13 volts at the battery
looked for melted wires and didn't see any

What else should i look for?!!!?!?!?!
It just cranks and cranks and doesn't even catch anymore, just turns over.

sensors and vac lines. take your afc ---- out, those are junk and they screw themselfs over see if it starts with out it.

The starting problem could also be caused by:
1. Blown fuse(s).
2. Damaged ignition control module.
3. Damaged coil primary and/or seconday circuit(s).

First check to see if there is a blown fuse. If there is none, use a Ohm meter and check the distributor and coil circuitry.

God damn it.

Ok, firemenz aren't ghetto, so something called a homemadeturbo would be funny to them. If you told them the car caught fire because of your home made turbo, they'd probably die laughing, and then want to know which hidden camera show they were on. (It helps that you're taking pictures of them too) :P

I guess you'd have to think like a white man to get my jokes.

most likely you melted some wires or a wire on the harness. If you melted the spark plug wires its safe to say some part of the electrical system is toat as well. Just work your way down the harness looking for signs of damage, it will probobly take you a while but its your best bet. Why did you tow the whole car into your autoshop in the first place, why not just bring in the pan?!?!?

you said he getting sparks, so why not pulled the spark plugs and changed them, they might be fouled
