Well i havent- i made a post a few days ago, and anyway i went to scan the ECM and when i hooked up the jumper wire, i accidentially hooked the jumper into the wrong wire-instead of the STI, and it threw a spark, and now the car doesnt run right at all, idles all f*cked up like its got a HUGE cam, and try to hold it steady at 2000rmps its rough as sh*t and vibrates- throws black-blue smoke, what do you thinks has happened?

Yep....that will fry it....[&o] ...specifically the SIGRTN circuit...there should be an open/blown line on the board causing all problems with the MAP, EVP and TPS signals. You could also open the ECM up, expose the board and check if a repair like the one below will do it for you........
