Thanks. Kevin previously kindly invited me to serve, but I declined because I feel that I make a much better member than I would a staff member. Simple as that.

ok so update. my car is back and running better then ever. the ground was really dirty and i had to do was clean it and put it back together and she started right up (after i forgot my throttle cable was pulled so it was wide open and hit the rev limiter for a couple seconds). and my dad moved the o2 sensor on the 2nd header piece and no more CEL

Glad to hear it's fixed, but I am very confused. Can someone please tell me how a bad ground connection causes a fuse to blow? A fuse typically blows due to a short.

Which ground did you clean? The one on the thermostat housing? The battery ground connection?
