I was finishing fixing the timing on my explorer. Put everything back together and went to startup....ran terrible...forgot the tube that goes into the rear driver side of intake manifold. Stuck my finger in it and it smoothed out and sounded great. Removed intake manifold and put that hose back on but forgot to connect another vacuum hose. Started up the car and got super high idle ~4k. Ran to front to see what was up and had a large backfire with a spark from fuel injector #1 area and it caught fire. Stayed on fire for like 5 minutes until I found a fire extinguisher.
what all looks burnt to you guys? Plug wires are toast, Throttle body damaged, but harness for fuel injectors don’t look harmed.
