If the connected the wires the wrong way their will be serious damage to the electronic circuits

To check your fuel pumps it is easy, you can either disconnect the fuel hose after the fuel pump or from the fuel rail from the engine side and see if you have fuel pressure when you try to start the car (you need another person to help you out to start and kill the ingestion). Please use a glass bottle so that the fuel goes into the glass as you do not want to start a fire

Also it is a good idea to check all the injecotr wires and the battery

as you can see im waiting for the replay ! LOL

well i hope no damage to the electronic circuits (how to check), but it did smell bad when the mechanic installed the battery so we can drive it to the dealer !!! i immediately asked him to stop and called the dealer saying its over.

thanks for the help

i did the fuel check and no fuel pressure and i was trying to start it again now and guess what battery is weak cranked a little and thats it !

Are you saying the mechanic reversed the wires on the battery terminal?

So did you check both fuel pumps ? I guess you need a fuel pump .

Check the obvious like lights, stereo, indicators, gauges ….etc. Also check the fuses , I am not sure if there fail safe circuit for the Diablo in case the battery terminals is reverse. If such system is there it will only require to be re-set.

no Check Engine light at key P1 or P2 and no instruments warning lights and the fuel gauge is not working ! climate Control is showing temp # but i didn't pay attention to others.

strange the fuel pump sound kinda went off !! after hooking the car to my viper battery !

i will buy a new battery and i will check again the viper is too loud.

but until now:

Fuel Pressure = NO
Injector Wires Check = All done
Fuel Filters = i do have one i will order the rest (more waiting)
Fuses = one bolts wont come off and keeps spinning i dont want to damage anything so im buying new better tools.

thanks for the help bro
