If you unplug connector C101, does fuse 44 stop blowing?

samirsamir

where is the connector C101??? maybe is on right side of the engine by the windshild wiper motor ????

i try that one and fuse stay good (did not blow) ..




this connector ???

Former User

Plug C101 back in.

Unplug all 4 fuel injectors and the IACV? Does the fuse blow with key in ON(II)??

samirsamir

I unplug all four injectors but I can't find, actually I don't know where is the plug for IACV????

samirsamir

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what I need to disconnect, this IACV Valve plug in this picture??

Former User

1. Unplug the electrical connectors for all 4 fuel injectors and the IACV.

2. Test whether fuse 44 still blows.

samirsamir

Ok I I step out for the moment I will try. Soon as I come back thank you

samirsamir

I disconnect all 4 injectors but in this picture I still can not find IACV plugin.

Can you explain me little bit more where is it

Former User

The IACV is attached to the throttle body. Study the diagram I posted.

The IACV connector has 3 wires. You've found the IACV when you locate the connector with the 3 wire colors shown below.

samirsamir

. Ok I will look for it in a minute thank you

samirsamir

fuse 44 still blows ...

Former User

Remove the cap from junction connector C130.

Does fuse 44 still blow?

Former User

If removing the C130 cap prevents fuse 44 from blowing, then do the same test for junction connector C116.

samirsamir

Should I plug back in the electrical connectors for all 4 fuel injectors and the IACV before I proceed with this to new test's ,???

samirsamir

I pluged back in all four injectors and the IACV plug. Then I unplug junction connector C130 and the FUSE 44 didn't blow.

Should I now plug back in Connector C130 and disconnect junction connector C116 to see if FUSE 44 doesn't blow or does blow ???????????????

Former User

Yes

samirsamir

yeah I did that a minute ago and a fuse stays good

samirsamir

I hope that I'm hearing from pretty soon to see what I need to do next ... Thanks for everything

Former User

The tests that you've done so far have isolated the electrical short to one of the 5 Yel/Blk wires that runs from connector C116 to either fuel injector 1, 2, 3, or 4 or the IACV (see circuit diagram). With the cap removed from C116, test each of those five wires for continuity to body ground using a multimeter. The wire with continuity to body ground has the short that is blowing fuse 44. Replace that wire or repair the short and the problem will be fixed.

samirsamir

So I want to make sure I understand what I need to do,,,,, so I need from my multimeter put negative (black wire) on body ground and positive (red wire) from multimeter put on connector c116 actually on each of those 5 black and yellow wires coming from connector c116 . To check for continuity???

This is the multimeter that I have is this going to work?

Former User

Multimeter is set correctly.

The testing may be more easily done from the 4 injector connectors and the IACV connector with C116 uncapped.
