Well.. i tried posting on h-t.com but no one really seems to know what my problem is.. ive heard a few people on po.com talk about this.. but most of the topics dont really cover teh solution... heres the problem

92 prelude s h22a swap

while im driving.. sometimes the car dies.. but recently its been happening often.. main relay was replaced about 4-6 months ago.. and i just bought a new distributor for the car.. and everything seems ok.. few days later.. car just dies.. find out that fuse 4 (kick panel) blows out.. replaced it.. and it drove for about a week or so.. and it blows again.. i buy like 4 more fuses and head home.. while reversing into my garage.. i blow 3 fuses shifting into reverse.. i just decide to park on the curb..

i put the last fuse in.. maybe wait an hour or 2 before i have to go somewhere about 50 miles away.. and i can go in reverse and all.. (i pick up about 10 more fuses just in case) as i get to my destination.. one of my friends wanted to drive my car.. and he was driving.. and it seemed like he stalled at an intersection.. but the clutch was down.. tried starting.. doesnt start.. and pushed the car to the side.. check fuse 4.. blown.. replaced the fuse like 8 times and everytime i switch the keys to II (the one where all the dashlights come on) the car shows the check engine light.. which means fuse blown.. instead of wasting the rest of my fuses.. i had to get the car towed back..

does anyone have any insight on this problem?

i kind of need to drive my car in 2 days.. for school.. and im fked if i cant get it running

What you had a fuse, which you know will fix it.. and you got it towed anyways!??! damn i'd rather spend the pennies on fuses than a tow truck...

Its something obviously electrical, but does it only happen when you put it into reverse... and fuse 4 is what , its 2 am don't feel like going to my car to check what fuse 4 is.

yeah.. fuse #4 the backup fuse .... 10a. i tried putting a 15a.. and it blew out the instant i turned the key to ii

backup fuse for what?

ent3ri_3

for some reason. the backup fuse powers the pgm-fi relay? and the main relay i think... so whent he fuse blows out.. the ecu wont get a siginal to send fuel to the pump i think.. and therefore the car doesnt start...

the thing is..e verytime i replace the fuse.. it just blows out.. like 1/50 it starts working.. bbut about 3 minutes of driving.. it blows out.. the car stalls (lack of fuel) and im stuck on the side of the road 3 minutes from where i started from..

Umm... are you ok with cutting and stripping and splicing wires together?
