JUst wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I just purchased a 98 Countour SE from my buddy. The car died on him on the way to work on Monday of last week, he took it to the repair shop and replaced an engine management fuse and the car started right up and ran fine. He drove home after work and Tues morning it was dead again and all the fuses are fine. No idea whats wrong with it yet but I'm having it towed tommorow to get checked out.

Its a silver 98 SE with full leather, power everything yada yada yada. I want to use it as a daily driver so I can finish getting the EVO fully built. Look forward to participating on this forum anyway I can.

Contours are a lot better for racing than evos.





hahaa. But for real, let us know if we can help. Contours are pretty reliable but can be finicky.
 
UPDATE: Went back to the house where the car is parked. Used my handy fluke digital multimeter and checked all the underhood fuses. Everyone of them was good. I proceed to the drivers side kick panel fuse. I start testing there, and bingo the same 7.5 amp ENGINE MANANGEMENT fuse was blown again. I replaced it and it fired right up.

Now my question is, what would cause it to continue to blow ? I checked the grounds that I could find and they were all intact.

PS - Thanks to those who have offered advice thus far!
