So there I was in some unknown neighborhood in the middle of the street with my hazards on trying to get the car to start again! I checked to see if it was the ecm/fuel pump fuse by the battery but it was intact. The fuel injector fuse on the other hand was shot; the previous owner ran one of the #8 fuel injector wires through the firewall and wrapped it around one prong from the fuse, why he did it I have no clue ! The reason I mention this is because when I found the fuse shot, I quickly thought it was no biggie...all I had to do was put in another fuse and im good to go! wrong! Once I put in another fuse and rewrapped the wire on one of the prongs, I plugged it in, cranked the car and a plume of white smoke suddenly shot out of the fuse panel as well as the wire insulation was toast!; I quickly tried to remove the wire and fuse but got a painful burn on my fingers instead from the wire still bieng hot! I then tried putting in a 30 amp fuse and cranked the the car again but it blew in a snap as well ! Luckily someone came to help me push it to the side of the road but unfortunately had to leave the car there too .. good thing theres an auto electric shop near my house and ill definately be taking it there tomorrow! In the meantime, anyone know why it kept blowing the fuses like that? Thanks again for the info!
