I accidentally crossed the jumper cables when trying to jump start my 2005 MPV Mazda. Sparks flew off the battery post and a blackish smoke came up from somewhere….after that my car started normally and I went to the mechanic. He checked the batteries and the alternator and they were ok but when I was going back home, my car stopped running and start normally again… after that stopped running again and again but it starts normally when it happens. What damage could he have caused by having done this?
