I'm waiting on a donor ecu - check in two weeks.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if my "seat belt light" finally goes off
AND my CEL goes off.... ALSO, I'm actually thinking that some problems could be associated with the EGR, but we'll see after I do KOEO/KOER test...
Check in 2 weeks.

So, when I hooked up the jumper wire, I accidentally hooked up the large-black-harness to a small-gray-harness (wiper motor/ engine light maybe - not in use).
So far, I discovered a blown fuse for the dome lights...
My CEL is still on and I'm trying to get another ECU to see if its fried. I'm trying not to spend any money on this - tough bet I know.
What ecu's will work on my car?

When I connected the large-black-harness to the small-gray-harness with a jumper wire...
I confused it with another small gray harness in the same area (wiper motor/under-hood light) I'm idiot I know.....
Nothing comes up on my Digital Scanner
&
without a scanner, the light just goes on, and stays on.
Basically, nothing happens....
No codes can be read, unless I'm doing something wrong... which I doubt

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED:
I couldn't get any codes, and I haven't gotten any codes yet.
First method, the one from your website, I hooked up the jumper wire into the wiper motor by accident. small sparks-almost nothing. I'm an idiot. Never got it into test mode. But, I did get the CEL to stay on. haha
Over the counter; digital display, Scanner = just reads 000, and won't go into test mode
Over the counter; tone & STO Light, Scanner = STO light stays on, and doesn't go into test mode.
It did run like sh** again, only when I gave the car gas. THEN, it went away...
So, I shorted something then. Well, how do I figure that one out?

THIS ONE JUST DISPLAYS "000" and WON"T ENTER INTO SCAN MODE::
http://www.amazon.com/Equus-3145-For...2334313&sr=8-1
THIS ONE, THE LIGHT JUST GOES ON, AND STAYS ON AND NOTHING HAPPENS::
http://www.amazon.com/Actron-CP9015-...2334313&sr=8-3
When I use just a "jumper-wire," etc... same results. I can't get the CEL or a test light to blink codes
