95 s14 PLEASE HELP totally stumped

240-slide-ride,the way the check engine light was flashing on and off and all that other weird stuff, makes me want to try another ecm.Is the car still flooding with fuel?

[Doya]

Doya ,if the fuse keeps blowing like that ,you have something that is shorted to ground (injector, sensors or wiring) could even be the ecm.

I guess I'll go check my grounds today.

I would start by unplugging your injectors one at a time ,then unplug each sensor that has battery power to it and see what happens.

Alright, I unplugged all of my connectors. There is one that is located right next to the upper radiator hose. It's kind of a fat connector and mounts to a clip on the intake manifold. When I unplugged that one, the buzzing stopped.

Where do the wires run to?Did it quit blowing the fuse?

The wires run through the intake manifold, to the firewall. It did quit blowing the fuse with the key in ACC position, but when I tried to start it, the fuse blew again.

[sx moneypit]

So it is still blowing the fuse with the connector unplugged, correct?

[Doya]

Yes, when I go to start it with the connector unplugged, it blows the fuse. If I turn the key forward with the connector removed, it doesn't blow.

Did this problem start before or after you installed your turbo setup?

[Doya]

Well, it kind of happened during the whole process. My dad was pulling my car to a friends house to have him weld me a down pipe when half way there the buzzing started. I haven't been able to start it since.

[sx moneypit]

The engine is turning over,correct?

[Doya]

Yup, It's turning over just like normal. It acts like it wants to start. I've come to the conclusion that my car just hates me and it refuses to start

[sx moneypit]

Has the car run with the turbo installation on it?

[Doya]

No It sucks having a turbo car and not being able to drive it.

[sx moneypit]

Is your setup a kit or something you have pieced together?

[Doya]

It's something I pieced together.

[sx moneypit]

If you unplug the ecm, does the fuse blow?

[Doya]

Hey, I opened up my ECU and found out that there is a burnt spot. So I'm going to try a new one and see if that works.

[sx moneypit]

Glad you found something.Make sure you do not have anything else shorted out.You dont want to fry the new one! Good luck and keep us posted!

Thats what I'm going to do today, go over everything and make sure nothing is shorted out. I did have some aftermarket gauges installed and I was thinking that maybe they shorted something out, so I have them unhooked for now. I'm just going to try the new ECU with nothing but factory stuff hooked up.

[sx moneypit]

Good idea brother.

[Doya]

Since I have time to kill waiting for my ECU to get here, I figured I would remove all of the wire loom and inspect all of my wiring. I found out that the Black/White wire going to my MAFS plug was fried. The previous owner had extended the wires to relocate the MAFS to the passenger side and it turns out that there were two bare spots on the black wire and the black/white wire.

Anyways, it melted the wire all the way to were the first injector is. I'm going to cut it and put new wire on it from there. I'm just glad that it didn't mess up any of the other wiring.

[sx moneypit]

I am glad you found that before you installed the new ecm.It sure would have toasted it!Double check the rest of your stuff.

[sx moneypit]

Doya any updates?
