Ok here goes. I recently had to do a complete rebuild of my 1998 toyota celica. From ground up i had my mechanic do the rebuild. Once i got the car back everything was running fine for awhile, but the mechanic told me that the ECU/ECM isn't reading and that i would need to get a new one. So i went and got a new ECU, and i still notice that my check engine light is still on, and the car is running a little funny. So Once i put the new ecu in i have it checked out and the individual at autozone tells me that there is a short somewhere in the electrical and that the ecu isn't reading.
Ok so i checked all my fuses and everything sees fine, but i still dont know exactly where to start looking for my problem. If any of you can help me lead me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. |

Hoepfully i have everything solved.
