the car will not crank sometimes, and the engine control fuse keeps blowing. sometimes the engine will crank over but not often. when it does it starts right up until i put it in gear and it dies when i give it gas. the motor does shift position a bit because i need to replace the rear motor mount. could it be a short somewhere? and if so does anybody have an idea where to look.its a a 88' AT. any help is appreciated.

 

my o2 sensor kept making mine do that.it woudl do it every few days sometimes maybe less or more. took me forever to figure out.

 

alright i will check that today. was it a short in the wires coming from the o2 sensor or was it just bad?

 

tried the o2 sensor...same problem. any ideas?

 

It sounds like a short to me. I would also try to get codes if you can before the fuse pops.

how do i get the codes without a diagnostics computer?
