Ok, here goes. First off, will a bad IAB kill the engine? I think that's 
what it might be. Anyway, I was driving around today, and hit a bad bump 
and all of a sudden the car was really jerky and shuddery at any speed 
and throttle position. I was wondering what the hell was happening when 
I turned the OD off to try to get more throttle. That's when I noticed 
that the OD light was dimming in conjunction with the jerking so I was 
like "great,  bad computer ground." So I finally get the car where it's 
supposed to go and I pop the hood and the positive battery terminal had 
come off the battery! So I put that back on but ever since then the car 
WILL NOT idle. I had to two-foot the car all the way back home (20 
miles) and not let it idle. I already ordered an IAB and it should be 
getting here soon, but the only other things I figure it could be are 
the coil pack or the DIS. It might be the coil pack? but I kinda doubt 
it. Any ideas, anybody?
