Default ecu fuse keeps burning out... wtf!

alright i got of work today and started driving home. i came to a stop light and the car just shut of on me. pushed it to the side, called some friends, and started diagnosing. checked for spark.. none! checked for fuel... none! swapped out main relay... nothing! finally... checked ecu fuse under the hood and seen that it was burnt. replaced it and it started right up. i drove home and as soon as i pulled into the garage it shut of again. i rechecked the ecu fuse and same thing... blown again... wtf!

stock ls motor had been in my civic for about a year and never had any problems like this till now.

has anyone ever experienced this problem and found out what the problem was???

I had a wire that was exposed, and it kept grounding out and blowing the fuse. You might check your wiring, and make sure you are using the proper fuse. (amperage)

update:

after inspecting my wireharness today i found that extended o2 harness was hanging over my header. it burnt through the black/yellow wire on the engine harness side of the o2 plug, so the wires were exposed, and it probablly grounded when it touched the header.

i started it and let it idle for about 10 minutes and restarted it again later for about 5 minutes. now i have to take it out for a test spin. i dont want to end up getting stuck again. hopefully that was the problem.

sensor voltage wire grounding on my header downpipe. would that cause ecu fuse to blow???

just want to get a little bit of backup before i take the car out for a test spin and risk the possibility of getting stuck.
