About 6 months ago when i installed my Hooker LT's, i ran into a small problem.. . . .. the fuse thats in the relay box (under the hood) kept blowing out labeled "Engine Sensor"... The problem fixed itself and i was on my way. . . .Until about a week ago!!! I have done NUMEROUS searches on this website and NOTHING!!!

I have tried: disconnecting all 4 o2's, the maf, the skip shift, and the reverse solenoid!!! WTF!!!!!

Anyone have any ideas????? SHOEBOX. . . . . .INJUNEER?????? PLEASE HELP!!!

 

Forgot to mention what was really weird: When i put the car on the jack and it was lifted and i turned the car on with a new fuse, it would not pop. BUT while the car was on and i would lower the car, i could hear the fuse pop!!! WTF this is weird......

So the fuse pops while i lower the car. And it always pops while the car is on the ground.

 

Sounds like you have a short in the wiring somewhere. My guess would be to start by getting a print of the wiring and isolate the circuit. Then trace it out and find the short. It sounnd like you have a suspension pice hitting something. When the car is off the ground its not shorted. Look around the front end for wiring that is pinched or rubbung against something.

 

Is this is exactly what i didnt want to hear.... anyother suggestions. . . . .

 

My guess would be that you have some wires that are grounding out as you level out the car. Try tracing the O2 sensor wires back to the looms, but it would be my guess that they got burnt and are grounding out on a header primary.

The fix could be as simple as putting some electrical tape around the wires and zip tying them away from whatever they are grounding out on.

 

Almost guaranteed that it is an O2 wire burned by your header.

 

Thanks for all the input guys. . . . . . .will check all these suggestions. .. . .

 

still cant find this damn short........ does anyone know what wires are the ones that are on the passenger side, they are right between the primaries and the wall......

 

you were right...... one of the o2 wires was shorting out on the passenger side primary of the LT's

 

Yep the tranny , oil level and O2 wires go right by there. I bought a sleeve to put them all through when I added headers.

 

Glad you have it workin'
