can you not re insulate all the wires as a temp fix with some insulation tape, sounds as tho they are shorting out against each other...

this may work so u can get the car home and fix it propperly

I would just tape them up for now, so they dont touch, and drive it back home ASAP.

Around here it would have most of the bits stolen or the whole car stolen in 1 night.

If not, tow it back home!

If its the sensors in the air box, i ran without those for a while ;)
