Default b18b Eg just died; now ACG fuse keeps blowing

I have a 1992 civic hatchback cx which i just put a b18b in roughly a month ago. The swap was purchased from HMO.
I was driving down the road and it just cut out like you turned the key to off.
when i started it before i took off it was idling real low around 200 or 300 rpms
i headed off down the road and there was no problems at all.
and it just all of sudden died.
There is no spark from the dizzy.
I tried using my buddys dizzy of his usdm ls and it didnt work
I haven't been able to figure anything out.
There is also a loud humming noise coming from the wires running up to my driver sides lights
Before this the car ran 110%
any ideas?

check your ignition system. The problem is most likely an electrical one

Does it crank when you turn or no? Check the timing belt too, but if no crank or signal then you def. have a lose wire or ground that shorted something out. Ignition problems prior? Car stolen before?

this guide can be used to troubleshoot and or replace your ignition switch, go straight to the instructions on how to jump it to rule it out.

G101 is where all the important ecu grounds congregate, it is located on the thermostadt housing towards the rear of the engine on the passenger side.
wire brush the conector and the mating boss and re-install.

GL duder!

It isn't the ig switch
I'll clean up the connectors and let you know if it makes a difference

sounds like the same problem my buddy had... his car would shut off when he was driving.. he figured it was the ignition switch, changed that.. wasnt the problem.. he checked all his fuses and relays.. couldnt find anything wrong, they all checked fine... ended up being the Main relay.. he replaced that and hasnt had a problem since.

You have a short somewhere now. Trace your wires that are coming out of the fuse box.

Check all alternator wires (4P connector wires and large white that runs to the hood fuse box).

I changed many things ecu, ignition cap rotor module, coil pak spark plug battery checked altenator, radio under hood/dash fuses... It is a short!!! That can make anyone loose there mind I even changed the fuel pump!!!! >>>> here's the RESULT N SOULTION N WAT WASSSSSS MY PROBLEM, my brother who was busy at the time finally looked at it, n he changed the fuel pump again NOT JUST THE PUMP LIKE I DID, the whole entire thing : turns out.... The was a short in the actual fuel pump ( no good) he changed it, looked me in the eyes as if ( I'm the snit) n bammm 3 weeks later my car as been running n no more acg fuse dying it took me ( a car clueless girl) 2 months to figure it out tears, frustration mental anger lol honda baby!
