Modified 7

Well recently i bought some new tires so today i wanted to see how they could grip from a dead stop. So i rev to about 5k and drop it and take off, almost right before the car grabs it just shuts off...dies. So i m like wtf!?

So i pull over crank it, do all the fuse tricks, wait and try again. Nothing happends...i have good oil pressure, good volt reading and i have gas. I look to see if something got fucked with the tranny or something but its fine. The car will just crank and no start. So a buddy of mine comes over and pulls one of the leading spark wires from the coil and tells me to crank it. I do and he says my coils are messed up. He said quote "ur car isnt getting any spark to the coil packs because if it was u could hear it" So eaither its that or i blew my engine.

The car is in the driveway right now lifeless. I dont know what step to take 1st. Any ideas guys?

check the fuses in the engine bay especially the ignition fuse.

well i checked all of em and its hard to tell if there good or not. But i looked under the ignition fuse the green one i think, and it seemed to be more "black" then the other fuses...any ideas?

if they are busted you will see the peice of copper in the middle will be broken in half.

the 30a egi comp fuse closest to the engine its busted.

The copper thing is in two pieces, now what?

Now you go to an auto parts store and purchase a new fuse

yep replace, only problem is unless it just went out because ???? then usually that thing will keep busting if you have a short or your acv or bac valves are bad. I would buy two when you went to the store, it's always good to have a backup, plus if that thing keeps busting you will have to find the short. Good lock.

putting ur battery in backwards can

maybe the jolt caused the battery lead to the ECU to short somewhere. You may have a rub-through near your ECU. I would have a look before you smoke the ECU.
