When jump starting my eclipse I put the jumper cables the correct way on my eclipse but backwards on my friends truck. After we put them back the right way. My car did start but nothing inside like windows, convertible top, air conditioner didn't work. The thing that i am worried the most is that my car idles at 1500 RPM now and wont go down back to 750RPM. did i accidentally fry my computer or other sensors?

Hi there,

You best run a scan and check for any fault codes, the idle is controlled by an idle control motor and it may have been damaged with a voltage spike.
