Hello and please help. 1996 V-6 auto. Recently I had a rebuilt engine installed. a few months later the car dies while driving,.. actually it was snowing ,I have two kids that wanted dad to do a douoghnut in the snow,.. I did,.. smelled burnt wires then a few blocks later it dies. checking the engine compartment fuse block, I found the fuse for eec is blown. Changed the fuse and it blows imediately when the key is turned on. But,.. not knowing much at all about computers in cars,... I do not know where to go from here.
Check the component for any type of short or in the case of a motor any kind of obstruction which would hamper movement. Then check from the component to the fuse, following the wires looking for any sign of a short... easier said than done of course. Not a sure fire way, but hopefully you'll get lucky and it'll be something simple or obvious.
Sorry to be this ignorant on the subject but,.. where is the component? its not obvious to me. is there a panel to remove or what?
I think it is near the passenger's side kick panel. Should be able to find out for sure by googling it.
