i am wandering if the egi comp fuse would pop or fail in the event of overheat or other engine about to blow? im asking because i was flipping a uturn spinning out and almost went around in a complete circle spinning too much and i ripped the steering wheel the other way and st8tened it out but right afterwards lost all power and when i push the clutch in to see if i had slipped outa gear or something and it instantly died(all in about 1.3 seconds) it then rolled to a stop right off the road outa the way.. after like and hour and half of cranking checking looking smelling doing anything to find something out.. right before i left it there i checked the engine fuses. egi comp was blown. i was sooo relieved i thought i had blown my engine or something. i used the retractor 30a fuse replaced the blown egi comp fuse and bam started right up. now everything is a ok but, i would like to know why this fuse blew out in the first place.(also in the engine bay after it died there was power steering spray in a few places. could this have sprayed onto the fuse location and popped it?) any help or advice is appreciated. like i said no problem now but maybe i can prevent one if i know why it popped.. thanks

 

this is on a 86 na and the word in the first line "Other" shouldnt be there..lol

 

Those fuses are self contained plus there is the cover to the fuse box to protect them. It's likely something else caused it to blow.

 

Sounds like your wiring harness has rubbed through somewhere an when you were abusing the car, it shorted.

 

well im much relieved(this is my first 7 and i was in about tears thinking of a rebuild) so maybe i should make shure everything connected nice a securely around the fuse box? and yea it has a cover am i almost shure it wasnt power steering spray that got to it. ill just remember in the future if the car doesnt start this would be a good place to start. thanks
