Need some help from fellow troubleshooters

So, i'm driving in the rain, just cruising and doing the speed limit. I get to a stop light and slow down, clutch in, downshift, neutral, stop. Car dies. Right there in traffic. I didn't stall it, it just shut off. Try to start it, and it won't.

I get it pushed off to safe location and start wracking my brain. Battery voltage is good. Turning the key I can hear it crankin, but it's just not firing.

Timing belt isn't very old, I had it replaced not too long ago so I don't think I jumped the belt. Only thing I can think of is its either a fuel problem, or an ignition problem. My walboro wasn't whining overly loud like most do when they go bad.

Any ideas would be helpful.

sounds like what happened to me on a couple of rainy occasions. Water seemed to help arc the connection. See if this helps: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/te...lown-fuse.html

This happened to me once, just check your rear o2 sensor. The plastic shielding on my o2 sensor wire was cracking and it exposed the wire, blew my ECU fuse.

Check your fuses.

Blown #8 fuse. Replaced it and it fires right up. Trying to find a wiring/fuse chart but I'm having difficulty locating one. What all could blow an ECU fuse besides a o2 sensor?
