Alrighty, finished changing out my engine last night (Ka24de), blew a head gasket last weekend, just did a straight replacement. Motor ran nicely all day, with being turned on and off multiple times. Went to move the car, and the fuel pump fuse blows (10Amp). Checked all wiring, all grounds are tight. Experimented with different fuses. Blew everything up to a 30 amp. When using the 30 amp, the starter shudders, and grinds after about 3 seconds of cranking. All while I cant hear the fuel pump. Any ideas or suggestions? Bad pump?
