    Both wires get power from the 20A EFI fuse.
    Can you double check that fuse?

    I like to use a meter or test light.
    The fuse will have 2 bare spots. One on each side.
    See if you have power to each side of the fuse.
    Fuse needs to be installed into the fuse box.

    Meter should read 12v (or light up a test light)

    Black lead of meter to a ground. Red lead to the bare spots on the fuse. (Key ON)

    20A EFI fuse is in the fuse box under the hood.

    I don't have a 20 A fuse. I have e a relay for the EFI. I swapped it with the power outlet relay (same part number and known good) with no change.

    I don't know how many times I've checked the fuses. Both visually and with a multimeter. It took tearing everything apart and tracing it back to find that the 15A EFI fuse was broke. Replaced it and she roared to life.

    Thank for all the help.

    May not be out of the woods yet........I'd proceed carefully

    something down line may of over taxed that line....

    on a half ass inspection I count the open circuit, fuel pump, multiple vsv valves, and the 2nd O2 sensor all running off that one circuit branch...


    was it a one off.......maybe..........................

    I scanned and had several codes for all those. They have been cleared and I will definitely be keeping a close eye on them.

    Already at 5.29s. It wasn't the ball joints. The steering rack detonated on the top of Golden Mountain Park and I had to be towed out.
