Default blowing ecu fuse

I keep blowing the ECU fuse in the under hood fuse box. I don't get it! What could cause this?

**Jdm h22a motor. 92 cx hatchback. Should I post this in hybrid??

Could this be why my motor keeps on dying and almost lacks fuel at higher rpms? Thanks!

How are your injectors wired up? Resistor box? Did you swap the injector clips?

I wired in a resistor box, but now I'm beginning to wonder if I wired it all wrong! And I didnt mess with the injector clips due to the engine had already been in a eg civic already... I just assumed they were good. Should I take pictures and post them?

There could be a number of things wrong, but last time I saw this issue on a car, the resistor box wiring had issues.

My resistor box wiring is right. I just opened up the harness and checked. Now I'll check the other wires to make sure they are connected and good.

And this problem didnt happen from the beginning, but just last night... I blew 2 or 3 fuses within a short period of time. It loses fuel and then the car dies... check the fuse and its blown.

Exactly. I have also seen that if the wires going to the injector clips are switched within all the injectors, this will blow it as well.

Hmm.. I'll have fun tracing all the wiring now.

Any other ideas?
