I just dropped my ka24de into my new car i just bought because the motor in it had a spun bearing...After everything was together and wired up, when i went to connect the battery the battery terminals began to smoke and sizzle (no i did not hook the battery up backwards)....What should i check? I pulled the alternator harness off and looked at it and it seemed fine?...i was told it could be the alternator, starter, alt harness, or ecu

(the motor i put in this car was running fine out of my other car)

Any advice???

Thanks,
jesse
