Guys, help me out here...car keeps blowing fuses (bank 2)!!?? cruising down the highway the other day and all of a sudden half the engine cuts out. Got home and checked up on things and found a blown fuse for passenger side of motor. Put a 10amp fuse instead of 7.5 and took her for a cruise down the highway tonight and 5min later it cuts out again. I limp home and check the fuses. It's the same fuse. Any help will be appreciated. I can usually trouble shoot things but this one is throwing me off. Planning on going to autozone and having the codes read tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

You could pull the connectors off of that sides injectors and check each one for resistance. If you get anything less than about 10 ohms (somebody can probably tell you the exact range) on each injector then it may have a shorted coil and is drawing more amps than it should. That cylinder should show up as a misfire as that injector isn't opening. That bank should also throw a lean code. Just one option.

When it does this it is cutting both spark and fuel pulse. A couple injector wires are bare but not touching anything. I'll wrap them all in elec tape tomorrow. At idle the car does sound like it's misfiring slightly, also it idles high...like 1500rpm and fluctuates between than and 1000rpm(normal).

pulled the injector/ignition harness off the motor today for inspection and taped all bare wires w/elec tape then put back on. Jacked up the car and found that bank 2 02 sensor was on exhaust but wires weren't bare. So I zip tied it out of the way and checked the other o2 as well. Car is still in the air and I'm going to start it up when it's dark to check for sparks.
