Hi,

I'm new to this forum but I've got an urgent problem on my hands, and I start a driving job in a couple days so I'm frantically trying to repair my car before then.

The car in question is a 1991 Civic DX. For reasons I don't need to get into, I opened up the fuse panel under the steering wheel and started pulling out and replacing fuses while the car was on, trying to disable the heating/cooling fan. I've now learned the hard way that this is extremely stupid (I'm a complete layman with anything automotive).

I pulled out fuse 16 (10 amp) and there was a spark, and my engine shut off. I replaced the fuse, but now when I try to turn on the car, it will turn over but it won't start. When I spray starter fluid into the engine it sounds like it's almost going to start but never does. The spark plugs do not spark, so I replaced the igniter but the situation is exactly the same.

I haven't been able to find any fuse diagram for my car, so I don't even know what fuse 16 does. I've swapped the fuse to no avail.

If anyone can help me out here, I'd be eternally grateful. I really need to get my car running ASAP.

Thanks so much for reading and for any advice!
