Hey All, So the other night I was driving and all of the sudden the car shut off and didn't want to start. I couldn't hear the fuel pump priming the fuel rail, so right away I figured my fuel pump went belly up. I started to look around the engine bay to see if it might be anything else and guess what? The Engine Control Fuse 30A was blown. I put a new fuse in and that one blew out too. What could be the problem? My Ballast Resistor looked a bit crusty, could that be the culprit?

 

Good place to start, would also check all your grounds, make sure they are clean and tight.

 

Just cleaned them all a couple weeks back.

 

Problem Solved! The O2 Sensor wires were melted to the Exhaust Manifold, causing it to short out and blowing the Engine Control Fuse. Easy Free Fix!! Cheers!
