Need Help ASAP

[DARK-5.0]

I finally got my car up and running great, put a bunch of miles on it yesterday. this morning i had a buddy weld up my egr bung, started it up to check for leaks and then it died after about 15 seconds. find out that the eec / fuel pump fuse popped. put in a new one, popped. looked around for wires shorted and couldn't find any. reset the battery and ecu. try another fuse, pops. I don't understand it. We had the battery disconnected and the alternator since it was right there. I dunno whats going on. I did find that yesterday the #7 cyl plug wire got burnt on the header. Not all the way through though, just through the silicone. So I pulled that away incase that was shorting. Tried another fuse, pops. Please help. I don't have a multimeter for amps, only a volt/ohm meter and a test light.

...this morning i had a buddy weld up my egr bung...

Boy, that sounds painful Where was he welding? Check the wiring harness real close again to make sure none were burnt or melted during the welding process.

well i'm gonna head over there right now and check the maf harness. I moved both the maf and iat harness out of the way. Both harnesses were extended but the iat is soldered and the maf is just crimped, so i'm wondering if when i pulled it out of the way, they came undone and shorted

if this is all happening after an intake install then you more than likely pinched an injector wire or you melted through the insulation on the wire and its grounding on your intake.i would look under or feel under the upper to see if any injector wires are touching it.your power is definatly arching out on something.

No, the car ran just fine all day yesterday, its gotta be in those 2 harnesses.

Yes, check the harnesses. You may have pulled to hard and pulled a connector out of the socket or bent it into another wire.

if it is the maf it will run if you keep pumping the throttle? I didn;t have mine connected when i first got the car (newbie) and this is why it wasn't running right...

if you don't figure it out tonight let me know and you can try my eec.

Got it figured out. I extended the maf sensor wires a long time ago when i hid wires and it was a terrible job. It must have been the most retarded solder job ever. But it redid it and wrapped everything well. So its good to go. Tune and dyno tomorrow. I'll post results.
