Hello all,

I don't want to start another holy war, but can I just say how frustrated I've been trying to install this FI motor into a previously carbed car... Man I like the simplicity of my old carbed motor...

Anyways that is way off topic. I plopped a (72)1.7 motor into my ex-race car (74)chassis recently. Its all bolted in and plugged in. The motor used to run pretty well when it was in the 72 chassis last year.

I don't want to bore everyone, but the just of the problem is that everytime I turn the key on the Fuel pump runs for 1 second and then the 25# fuse on the regulator board blows, shutting off the pump (and I believe the coil also).

I've been chasing all of the circuts (heater blower/FI-auxilaries/coil/etc) and can't yet find out where the short is. The pump will run when jumped so I don't think its the pump. My best guess is something related to the relays on the board listed as: "main power" or "heater blower motor". I thought I would start over from square one.

The question part: Does anybody have any suggestions, or input. What items have people found that will blow this 25# fuse?
