nothing? lol something melted that hose. check around the exhaust manifolds for any sign of damaged wires.

 

maybe when i swapped in the new tranny, but the melted vacum line was melted a few inches from the intake, and not in the loom of wire it goes to. i had issues with slow cranking and smoke from a wire while cranking but i wasnt able to find which one was doing it but im pretty sure it was a ground because when i added a ground from alt to ground post on passengerside fender it cranked normal. i havent really whent thru this car too good yet. i still have plug wires i bought in may that are still in the trunk. and i havent fixed my exhaust leak, which by the way is the side where the line melted. i would like to unclutter my engine bay so i can actually see stuff living in a apartment in lynnwood is killing me! so im not able to get much done, i did do the tranny at least

 

if you had a bad ground on the charging/starting system it may be that it used the ignition ground and pushed to much amps through it and blew the fuse.

 

well im going to dig around some more today. the starter incident way a few weeks ago, well if not anything ill fix my vacum line today

 

ive driven the car alot since and i cant find anything wrong but it does seem to run not as smooth as it could. sometimes its slow TO START,i dont know whats up with this car. im waiting for it to crap out a opti

 

put them new plug wires on and new plugs if there old.

 

Yeah, geuss I need to, just dont wanna, my oil pressure is weird too.cold it runs middle of the gauge at idle but once good and warm its low,just slightly above red till I give it gas and I changed oil in july less thank 1k ago, might be the fram orange can of death?

 

Hey ive had very very simialar problems with my old lt1. My igniton fuse blew, and had some wierd problems. Turns out my coil was bad and the wires that plug into the coil had melted overtime and blew my igniton fuse. Check your coil and the coil wires/pigtail...im sure your problem will be right there....

 

The opti going bad won't blow a fuse. You have something that is drawing too much power on that circuit. I would suspect either a melted wire / connector or double check those bare wires you found on the ignition module.

 

im going to take apart the loom that vac line was in. i got some issues someplace, sometimes it cranks slow sometimes it doesnt and the battery is top notch. but im going to really check near the coil and stuff since the ground wires were funny.
