I would guess that fire burned off/grounded a wire needed to run. Look for something burnt or scan for fault codes which might point you in the right direction.

I got it to start by putting a big marine battery on it but only with the accelerator push to the floor and its not revving up but sounds like its only running on one or two cylinders. Could it have jump timing
