If anyone can help me it'd be much appreciated! About two days ago I pulled up to my house and turned the ignition off only to see smoke coming out of the passenger side vents. Turns out my amp/sub wires shorted out they arced and small flames were present on the passenger side close to the firewall and under the hood near the battery. I believe they shorted out when I sprayed under the hood at the carwash. So of course I put the flames out with an extinguished and now it won't start. It turns over but doesn't seem to wanna fire up. We checked a few spark plugs they have spark I blew out the powder and the battery seems fine as I can listen to radio etc and we tried boosting it just in case. Fuses also seem to be in working order as well. Also when I attempt to start it we can smell gas after I try a few times.
 






Also I have a obdII scan tool and nothing is coming up :(
