If you have a spark tech or ignition I have seen the 10amp fuse inside the car. Its marked with a engine.

Same think happened to me last week. It only happened when it rained though

But my 02 sensor i the test pipe snapped right at the wires and was grounding out on the chassis.

It blew the 20amp fuse in the engine bay. I just idsconnected the 02 sensor completely.


Hope this helps

What cams are you running? I've seen 3 cars that have broken the end off the intake cam recently. pop your upper timing belt cover off and have a look.

At least you have narrowed it down to a dead short. Just let us know what circuit it is. if anything, bring it to a repair shop. Good luck.

thats sounds very wierd that all of a sudden it just started. see what the fuse is for and trace the lines to see if there is something grounding out. also evos have a wierd thing about there main wireing harness by the fender. if they get wet they act up, like windshield wipers will come on and not shut off. just an idea.

+1... i had my crank position sensor go out on me once and my car died and would not start. For some reason the bolt backed out of the crank and caused the pulleys to shift a slight bit and the sensor ring ended up destroying the sensor.

Hey guysss thx for everything but i fiqured it out, so i had a CEL bolt that spaces my o2 out from my exhaust so i dont throw a CEL, but it was so far out the end of the o2 sensor with the wires and stuff were pushin against the bottom wall of my car so slowly but surely it rubbed right through the wire and the bare wires of my 02 sensor were showin and rubbin on the chassic and groundin out that fuse. Thats why the 20amp fuse keep blowin so i just took out the o2 sensor for now till i get a new one, im throwin a CEL now but who cares the cars runnin and the fuse doesnt pop anymore 8) thx for all ur help guys i really appreciated it!!!!
