Wifes CRV was putting out 18 volts, planned to change the alternator but before I had a chnce she need to drive it and it quit on her... Just before dying: wipers, fan blower & blinkers starter working without command, the car died and she pulled off to the side of the road. The battery was smoking a little.

Now, it won't start. The wipers and blower motor work when selected. There is no spark on the plugs and the FI E/M fuse keeps blowing.

Note, the mesh looking connector on the exhaust just under the front door is 1/2 disintegrated (this exhaust problem has existed for about a week and was planned to be fixed tomorrow).

Before replacing the alternator, I need to figure out how to solve the FI E/M fuse issue, please help!

 

No ideas anyone??

Anybody know if a PCM from a Civic is the same as a CRV??

 

My guess is that you have some wires that melted together and now you are shorting out and therefore blowing the fuse. Might be a bitch to trace that down. :/

 

i was thinking burnt wire also... another interesting finding to mention, with the PGM-FI main relay harness disconnected, the fuse doesn't blow. changed the relay, plugged in the new one and fuse blew again??

found the problem, pcm. replaced it & fuse doesn't blow, car starts.
now to replace the alternator... that's a bugger for space to get out

 

PCM changed, new alternator, new battery and shes alive! But now the engine light is on, the SRS light is on, and the ABS light is on, and the SRS fuse keeps blowing??

Any ideas?

 

Have you pulled the codes?

 

check your rear o2 sensor wiring. Last time this happen to me so because of that....
