Arrow Help. 2002 LS1 in RX-7 wont start.

I really need help. I've tried everything and I can't get the car to fire. Fuel is at 58 psi, and there is ignition power.

I got the car to start earlier in the day, and it was idling fine, but i saw exahust leak, even, with the gaskets in, so i shut the car off, let it cool for a few minutes and began tightening. As I was tightening the first bolt on the driver's side, I accidentally touched the wire that goees through the 120a main relay on the rx-7 with my wrench and created some spark and broke the fuse. I fixed the fuse and made sure there was power, and tried to start the car again, but it didn't want to fire. The starter is working fine, but the car is not firing. I don't konw if the I damaged anything when i accidentally grounded the wire.

I scanned the computer with my hptuners, and it was throwing p0117, which was a ect sensor circuit low voltage, but i fixed that, and the car still didn't start.

The scanner was also showing -30*F Intake Air Temperature, and 101 for the MAP reading, and this was with the key just in the on position. I don't know fi these have anything to do with the car not starting, but what can i do to fix these?

Any suggestions, hints, anything would be great. The car idled healthy and there was plenty of oil pressure (40-50) when it did start.

Please Help.

Just a guess but maybe check the condition of the relay as well.

i just talked to hptuners and the scanner reads -30F iat and 101* map when the car is not on, so that is normal, and should not cause the car to not start. that is not the problem then.

I'm thinking it's a fuse somewhere. I will see if i popped any other fuses.

RiceKilla, what relay are you referring to?

Any other things i should consider?

Check all of your grounds and power input at the ecu. Let me know if you need the pinouts.

I had a similar problem with my ls6/93rx7. I got 12+ for my dakota speedo converter from the X-14 wire harness. Which kept blowing fuses. So then i tried tapping into the fuse box for my switched 12+ and this fixed my issues.
