    Anyone have an idea what could cause this? Car has run fine for about 500 miles on the new L32 build then today I lost power while driving. Cranks but wouldn't start. Popped the hood and saw my injector fuse (possision 18) was blown. Stuck in a new one, blew again. No shorts that I can see, but i'm just baffled why this would all of a sudden happen

    Well it rode just fine for 500+ miles, then just yesterday it blew while I was cruising.. I haven't riden the car hard at all, and I didn't that day either. Ever since, it pops as soon as I crank the ignition to start the car. I even tried a 20amp fuse to test it and even that blew.

    I've checked everywhere with no luck.

    Apparently haha. Hate dealing with wiring. Just mind boggling why it all of a sudden happened

    All of a sudden in my parents car all you had to do to shift the car out of park was turn on the parking lights. Didn't have to touch the brake pedal at all.

    Issue was short in brake light wire in the trunk.

    Well that's weird? Don't ask how, but I got it running again today after pulling all the injector plugs, testing the fuse one by one until I had all 6 in. No issues, so go and start up the car and runs fine. Start putting everything back together and try again, starts up again just fine. Hooked up my UEGO, boost, and oil pressure gauges and tried again. Started up just fine yet again. Alright sweet, fixed..... Not quite. Got dressed and was going to head out, try and start the car... Nothing. Back at square one, cept this time my little trick plugging the injectors in one by one didn't work

    yes you def have a short. It is the factory rated fuse right? have you touched ur harness at all before? Y i say this is because previous owner (If one) maybe put smaller fuse in. Obv once it heats up it would pop. Just curious

    my 1997 did this two times. One time i was going down the highway for 30+ miles Cruise set at 70. Just randomly at 3 am i decide to Give'r' hell, And i mashed it to the floor, Rpm's did not rise just fell to there death. Replace the fuse and was good to go!. Next time it did it, was in the middle of town, i just washed it (and the motor) and I hit the gas and it died 5 fuses later it started.. for no reason. never did it again.
