Default pissed at this point.

Never had this issue before. Yesterday I washed the engine down. Avoided the dizzy the intake all your should right. Left the car running the whole time drove off and home. Got into the drive way and it died. So today I look into it and the ecu fuse under the keeps popping when key gets turned on. Pulled all the connections to check for water nothing. Wtf been sun tanning the motor still pops. Any thoughts.

you should never leave the car running if you do that. and if you do spray it down, cover everything up with plastic. as for the fuse i have no idea.

Mine did that and it turned out that the VSS shorted out. Pull the plug to the VSS loose and put a new ECU fuse in and see if that takes care of your problem. Took me two days of tiring hunting to figure it out on mine.

Man that sucks.

You probally have a puddle of water pooling somewhere. Might want to check the under hood fuse box.

Strange.


I have never in my life thought it a good idea to wash the engine with it on. I do remember one time I washed it down with some of that Gunk stuff, and let it sit for an hour before turning it back on. And Im guessing the gunk **** ate the altenator up because it burnt up on the way home.

I use simple green now, and never had that issue again.
