If the broken ground is the source of your problem then you need to check to see if you also blew a fuse. My last car also had a ground wiring problem and this caused my EGI fuse to keep on popping until the wiring problem was fixed.

If you did blow a fuse then replace it with another, but before you even put the key in the ignition you need to fix your ground problem first. You may die again if the ground isn't fixed. Depending on what type of grounding problem you have you may not even get to turn the key past "start'.

Also if you are able to find some blown fuses buy a few extra from the auto parts store not just one fuse (just incase).

 

your igniter might have crapped out on you

 

would bad ground explain the tach jumping around??? and what im stumped about is that my car wouldnt go into gear right b4 it happened ???
