    he hasnt put the CAS in upside down has he? Getting a scanner on the car would be a good start, but TBH it sounds like he's the wrong man to be diagnosing the issue.

    Mechanics and electrical diagnosis dont usually mix too well

    No properly alarm or remote start is going to effect anything to do with the ECU. Other than IGN and Power, there simply is nothing that the ECU reads that the alarm needs to work properly.

    That being said, I have seen backyard installers do some really dumb shit, so anything is possible, but just for the record, no properly installed alarm will EVER fry an ecu.

    Where are you located? Maybe you can have a member who knows a thing or two help you out?

Typically, battery voltage is applied to the injector and the circuit is completed through a ground path inside the engine control module (ECM). Using switching transistors, the ECM closes and opens the connection to ground to open and close the injector, respectively.

    Yep, the ecu will ground the inj circuit to activate it. This is really basic stuff if he even looked at the circuit diagram.
