Could a stun gun have destroyed his Legend car's electronics?

My friend has a 1988 Acura Legend Coupe. He was trying out a stun gun
and accidentally zapped the car. The car wouldn't work after that. Any
idea what happened? What circuits should be checked out? Is there an
inexpensive fix for this automobile engine problem, if it was the
stungun that caused the problem? Could a relay or hidden fuse gotten
burned, perhaps?

Easily

blown up microchip gates, from one end of the vehicle to the other

Start with the expensive stuff, like the $400 PCM module, and then
work your way down from there.

probably not the best thing to do to a car. Check your powers at the
pcm and go from there.
