Burning Out Fuses
Hey last week I was going down a cloverleaf at a decent speed and then realized there was a bump at the bottom without anytime to slow down really. Car handled it no big deal but the car died and I later realized that my ACG(IG) fuse had burnt out so my fuel pump would not prime.
I replaced the fuse and everything was fine till I accelerated under WOT again the next day and the fuse popped again. Has anyone else had this problem before. Any certain spots I should check first for loose grounds or something?
Thanks

It shouldn't be a loose ground, its shorting out someway/somehow. I would start my search in the rear of the car, take out the rear seats etc. Im not sure the wire path from the front to the rear of the car. I would take out the helms and look and just trace back the spots you have access to. Worst comes to worst you can always run a new line.

Electrical problems are the worst to deal with. Trace the wires....

check the wires going to the second 02 sensor
ive seen when the car hits some thing pulls back the protective cover on a few wires , they only touch when the exhaust moves alot ie power shifting. so check that and get back to me

Re: (robfrmny21)
check all aftermarket goodies. problems like this occur usually from either something hacked up in the past or aftermarket stuff routed incorrectly. alarms, stereo equipment,etc...neon lightz

Re: (robfrmny21)
you my friend are a genius. the wires on the secondary 02 are worn thru and are very tight against a bar... makes sense when i hit bumps it shorts. Ill replace the parts and keep u updated! thank you
