    Electrical Problems...

    Like the title says, My car is having some trouble...
    A few months ago, I was on my was back to work after running to the bank. I was turning onto the highway and right when the tranny shifted out of 1st, The motor fell flat on its face, I put it in neutral and tried to start it, nothing, the Check Engine Light was on, but it wouldnt throw me a code...

    So I took it to my friends shop, Where we later figured out i wasnt getting spark, nor fuel, We traced the problem to my Distributer...Replaced it, No more problem....Untill today.

    Once again, I was on my way back to work and it did the exact same thing, This time i checked my fuses and my Secondary ECU fuse was blown, I replaced it, And now its fine....

    Now im stuck with trying to figure out wtf the problem is, I was told its more then likely a short somewhere, And if so, Does anyone know how to locate a shorted wire?

    Please help me!!!

      Start by checking your thermoground. Its the ground on the bottom of the thermostat outlet. Take it off and clean up the connection. If not that, check all your connections. Did you do anything out of the ordinary (did it rain, did you hit a wire, etc.)?

      EDIT: and Yes ^^^ checking everything with a multimeter is going to be quite a process, especially if its only an intermittent problem.

        Nothing out of the ordinary happened, It just died, Its been pretty cold out, But other then that nothing unusual...I havent changed anything, Or modified anything, So im under the assumption that its something shorted out...As for the multimeter, I wouldnt know where to start....
