if you dont have these they can cause damage to your elcetric and specially your computer. All your sensors will become out of wack and may not work again if not done properly.

Would say you have cooked some bits. Not good mate.

I would say that the earth strap between the engine and body is not connected so the only earth was through the throttle cable which will not handle the amps required to turn the starter motor. The throttle cable might have melted through a wiring loom somewhere so it is shorting out.
