I was being retarded and took the wire off my electric choke, it slipped from my fingers and grounded out on the neg to the choke, it immediately killed my engine. I pulled the dash offand didn't see any burned up wires. I tried to start the truck now it will crank and fire up but won't stay running... What do I do next? Is it the ecm or something else? It's a 74 F100 ranger with a 390. I'm really dying for some help here, and where to go with this next...

 

Start by checking voltage on your power for the choke see if the the choke linkage.moving freely

 

So I came home today I looked, tthe choke is still wide open, what voltage am I looking for in it?
