poolemit Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Hi there! I'm having a bit of a problem with my '89 Accord LX-i. For some reason, the injector fuse (in the fuse/relay box under the hood) keeps blowing. I disconnected the injectors/resistor connectors but that didn't help so I was unable to pinpoint the short (I assume it's a short -- right?). I also ruled out the ignition switch by replacing it with an old one I had laying around -- same problem. I'm not too good with wiring/electrical problems but a friend of mine is gonna come and help me with it tomorrow so I'm seeing if anyone has tips or clues as to what/where the short is or how we could locate it. Or is there any way it may not be a short but something entirely different? thanks a lot for any and all info!
poolemit Posted November 15, 2005 Author Posted November 15, 2005 FYI, it turned out to be a faulty ECU. problem solved..
SolLesHonda Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Damn, that sucks that it was the whole ECU. Did you have to repalce the whole thing, or was it fixable ???
rex555 Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I've got the exact same issue on my 86 EXi. Everytime I try to start it the injector fuse blows. How did you figure out it was the ECU? I'd like to test it somehow before I try and find a replacement... thx, Greg.
