i was driving today, and pulled up to a stop sign, and the car died. the strange thing was, when i went to crank it over, the tach didnt show anything, usually it shows 100-250 rpm. any ideas???

ok, so i towed the car home, and took a look at it. turns out, the EGI COMP fuse is blown. ok, so i just replace it. it instantley blows again. now i found out why the tach didnt bounce when i try to start it, but i need to find out whats causing the fuse to blow... any ideas???? oh, by the way, its a TII swap in an NA, so im thinking maybe some wires are mixed or something.

Yeah, it sounds like a short. Start looking through the wire diagrams and find out what runs through that fuse. It could be an exposed wire grounding out somewhere. Just my $.02.

yeah, thats what ive been looking for, but i cant figure out wich fuse by the wiring diagrams, since their is 3 different 30 amp fuses. the one that shorts only has 2 wires going to it, i just cant find out where they are going on a wiring diagram.
