ok, so i got my car running again a couple of weeks ago, and then today all of a sudden it just shuts off! the radio still works but my SAFC and fuel pump are off. i jump the fuel pump (walbro) and it still works and then i go to the engine bay and the first (closest to teh engine, right on the end) 30 amp fuse is blown. so i look over everything and replace it. it emediatly blows again! so i disconect the safc adn teh fuel pump (i used this splice for the controling side of the relay, not to run the pump) and replace teh fuse again, and it blows again! so, i get a ride home (cars at work :( ) and i am now searching diligently through the FSM (i have the online one) and i cant seem to find anything to help me out!! i have one diagram that shows me the fuse block but dosnt tell me where to go to see the circut. if anyone could help me out i will be much appreciated!!



Thanx in advacne!!

so it blows the fuse even with the AFC and the pump disconnected?

also, the fuel pump wouldnt turn on after i got it back together hence the wiring to the ECU. i used the same wire as teh SAFC for ignition signal its black with a white strip iirc.



also i have an Rtek Chip if that makes any difference.....

yes

im sure its just a short somewhere, but the FSM doesnt seem to specify which diagram to use so i dont know what wires/components to look over for the short! and i dont wanna just start goin over **** and find a short for a nother circut that wasnt harming anything and then blow another fuse, casue these fuses are expencive!!! lol

well, "any" short is bad and you will notice a problem somewhere. Just start checking wires for cuts, raw spots, etc...

yeah ill have to do that, the only problem is that the car is still at my work and its cold, and getting pretty dark here, so instead of dropping the new motor in my other car tomorrow looks like ill be diagnosing an electrical problem!! WHOOT WHOOT!! (i hate electrical problems.........wtf am i gunna be a mechanic lol)

have it towed home where you can take your time to look it over... wiring problems can lead to SERIOUS problems down the road later.

yeah, but it costs like $50 for a tow which i do not have!! ill look it over tomorrow at the lot and if i cant find it ill tow her home :( maybe my buddy will tow me with his truck https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR lol

can anyone get me a wiring diagram or anything aside form the FSM thats posted on iluvmyrx7.com?? that is too vauge and i cant find a diagram for the ignition switch (where the key goes) becasue i have a strong feeling thats where my short lies, as this time a couple days before the fuse blew, the car wouldnt shut off when i turned the key into the acc position it just kept running till i turned it all teh way off.........



any and all help would be great!!
