Default HELP! WORKING On the CAR NOW!

Okay guys, well I got a check engine light on the way home. So I thought I would pull the codes. Well, It's cold and I must of not been paying attention, and hooked up the Jumper wire to what I THOUGHT was the STI plug. I hooked it up to a ORANGE/BLACK wire that looks exactly like the STI plug. It sparked and now my 'Check Engine' light won't come off!!! Looking at the schematics, and I can't figure out what that ORANGE/BLACK wire is!!!

Now that I am trying to pull the codes the RIGHT way, I can not. It is not doing anything!!!

Dude tell me about it!! Well I think I must of fried something on the EEC!!! Since that Black/Orange wire has POWER and I hooked it INTO the Self Test connecter that the JUMPER goes too!!! DAMN IT! Exactly what I need right now! I think I need to find a Mass Air ECU and swap it out. I am pretty sure thats what happened. DAMN IT! Any imput would help me in the Cold Tundra! Any one have a Mass Air EEC they want to sell/trade!!!

Maybe you could try to pull the negative battery and reset the computer.
