**URGENT** EFI fuse keeps blowing


Recommended Posts

Meant to be getting ferry to England Friday morning for JAE but car has started to blow efi fuse.

Only seems to happen under load. Just started doing this out of nowhere, nothing has changed to cause it.

Car has EMU wired in and AVCR and walbro pump.

Wiring has been checked on ecu and all is ok, plugged out boost controller and still blew fuse.

Any suggestions, really need to sort it asap! Gonna be a long drive if im changing fuses every few miles

There’s quite a few things on the main EFI fuse.

Firstly check the feed to it from the battery, there is a 15A fuse before the efi relay from the battery from memory. Check the current it is drawing. Guessing you have a multimeter or can get access to one?

You then have a feed that goes from this to the ECU, again check this, and the ECU itself.

Injectors and Coil are also powered by this, so same applies as above.

It is ground by the left hand fender, check this and re ground if necessary/for peace of mind. 

The fuel pump relay feeds from the main efi relay also. Again check this and it’s grounds. 

The original boost control solenoid is powered from the efi relay. Are you still using this? The other air con / icv are also powered by this. 

Check all the above and you should find one of them causing the issue.

ever find your fault? my car has started to do this 😕

Have you tried what I said above? It’s going to be one of those items as they’re the only things on the circuit
