Messed up Fuse Box

I recently was fixing my radio and gauges. I have a 87 trans am with digital gauges. and i was messing with the fuses and now when i start my car and it idles it shakes really hard and the accleration is slow now and it doesnt get out of first gear till over 4,500 rpms. Anyone know if a fuse could cause this?

Did you check all the fuses? Are any of them blown? Also, is the voltage low on your gauge?

I don't understand why you went that route. You may have only needed one fuse, or you might not need any, it could be a wire crossed.

By looking at the fuses with a flashlight you can easily spot if one is blown.

Re: Messed up Fuse Box

Had the same problem man if it is still their than what u want to do is take out each injector at a time if the car changes the injectors are fine if not then either the injectors are bad or they arent getting power if three on a side do it its probably not getting power replace your injector fuses even if they look okay and it shoupd run better but i woupd let it sit with the megative terminal disconnected over night to reset the comp so it doesnt run improperly
