I recently came across a problem with a OBD 2 code P1401 and while testing the signal pin on the DPFE sensor connector from the engine harnes probabluy created a short somewhere in the car when I attempted to start again the car to do more vacum testing, it wouldnt start I can smell the fuel so I know its trying to start and that the fuel pump is working it will crank but wont start, what happens now is that the cooling fan automaticly starts with the key in the ignition ON, when Im guessing I created a short while they key was in the ON position the cooling electric fan came on automaticly so I know I did something by mistake touched another wire or something on the connector now how do I fix this problem so I can start the car now I checked fuses in the engine compartment and inside the car and they all have a pass while checking ohms did I possibly damaged my PCM, Also I replaced the dpfe sensor the egr valve the vacum lines and cleaned all the passeges in the intake manifold and changed the selonoid and the Evr sensor but when I turn my car on the second time to do the drive cycle my engine light ccomes on always at the same time with the P1401 CODE please if someone can help I would greatly appreciate it, I love this car and would not want to loose it, even if I have to replace my PCM im willing to do it as long as I can get some information about it and where to get it so PLEASE HELP ME.
