Why would my "engine" fuse blow? - help

Fast Eddie · Apr 27, 2004

I changed my plugs, wires and ignition coil and the car wouldent start. after alot of trouble shooting, i find that the "engine" 15A fuse is blown. So i swap in the spare 15A and it blows the same fuse again.
What could be causing this?

_ Its fuse #12 here:

Here is the legend:

You've got a short circuit in one of the devices mentioned on the fuse description: ignition coil, mfi relay, etc...

When I put on my new wires a week later I blew the engine fuse going down the road. Replaced it and couple days later it did it again. So I going looking around and it turns out on of my wires was not fully seated in the coil. the boot was down good but the electrod pushed up inside the boot. So i had severe arcing in the coil insulator and it acutally cracked a piece off and probably shorted out then and blew the fuse. so sheck the connections on everything you changed.
