i have a 96 civic. the number 44 fuse keeps popping. this fuse is located under the hood in the engine compartment. this fuse spiders into many things including the fuel pump, main relay, injectors ... all kinda of things.

ill admit i am over working my injectors and know i need to get larger ones.

but the fuse pops even without serious load. ive run out of ideas. hoping someone can help me out.

thank in advance.

 

well ...
the fuel pump is a walbro 255lph
everything else on the circuit is OE
the engine harness does have a obd2a -> obd1 coversion harness. no frayed wires though.

the fuse has "popped". there is no longer a physical connection between the two metal prongs. there is some black "char" i guess you could call it, in the fuse itself.

I am wondering if the my "over-working" the injectors has caused the fuse to continually pop. I hooked up my S300 and recorded. at one point i saw the duty cycle at 139% shortly after that the fuse did pop. i replaced it with another fuse and babbied it home about 2 blocks. but later the following day i started the car and could not get it out of the carport before the fuse popped again. i didn't go beyond 4000 RPM.

any suggestions?

 

any aftermarket alarms or such? what modifications have you done to the motor?

 

well motor is built but still using OE injectors. no alarms or anything like that. it is a cx model so there are not many electrical things on the car. besides the alarm is not on that circuit that keeps popping

 

overworking your injectors will cause them to heat up and could pop that fuse. But they would have to be overworked for a while. All though overworking them and heating them up will cause them to go bad and cause more poer to be pulled, and blowing the fuse easier.

Swap out the injectors, you know you need to do that anyway.
Then I'd be checking out any and all wiring on the engine. that fuse feeds a lot of things. It could simply be that a loose connection or shorted wire only makes contact when you're accelerating like that...

 

bump....
