I charged my phone and some wires burned and since then it doesn't want to idle unless I rev it. It doesn't also start but though it run starts.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so my technical info is very limited. However, I will try my best to help.

First, what wires burned? Also, you indicated that the starter isn't working. Have you checked all fuses in the under-hood fuse box related to ignition and the starter? Have you checked the starter relay?

What I suggest first is if none of the fuses are bad, check to see if there is power to the starter itself. Here is a link that explains how to check it:

Let me know what you find.
