In the last few days I have installed my aem v2 cia and coils went to fire the car up and nothing. I threw a battery charger on nothing. Tried to jump it nothing. Not even a light tries to turn on. Does anyone have an idea what I am looking for? I have a 2004 6mt. I am rather worried I messed something up. If you have any idea I'll try everything.

 

So you have NO power at all? That is odd... I am sure you verified your battery terminals are correct. Hope nothing got fried.. Check for blown fuses as well. Could have very well blown one when trying to jump it.

 

I have the battery on correct but thanks for asking. Also checked the fuse box under the hood. That should be the only one I need to check right?

 

That one contains the major ones that would be associated.
I would have the main fuses tested
Also you could check to see if you blew your ground
Also your positive cable maybe corroded down the line

I don't have alot of experience with electrical, just some of the first things that pop into my head. Goodluck and I hope you figure it out!

 

Thanks the corrosion could be it. I'll have to try working around that.

 

One last thing to add to this post that I forgot earlier is that there was a noticeable amount of sparking when I connected the negative. Not sure if that's important.

 

Obviously there was power when the cables were connected as evidenced by the sparking. Normally a great amount of sparking is an indication of a circuit that is drawing current, unless the ignition was on, door(s) open etc.
Fuses should be checked with a voltmeter (MM) for continuity at the test points on the top. Check cables on battery and if the ground connection was removed to install the CAI, was it reconnected securely?
