bad BAS!

@ full throttle i kept on blowing the 30a mini fuse that is on the input power wire to the KB Boost-a-spark. first thing i did was turn the voltage level from 30 to 15. and it still blew. then i checked all the wiring and according the fsm and me verifing w/ an ohmmeter i have the correct and only common power wire to the coils, which is located by the fuse block drivers side. there are 2 connectors one is a black weather pack connector which has two fat red wires going to it. one is for the coils and the other is for the injectors. so then i test the BAS by hooking it up to a battery, shorting the boost switch leads together and turning it all the way up to 50. the fuse didnt blow though, but i wasnt getting 27v output like i should. so this is my theory, somehow a diode was shorted after the step up transformer and it fed back and blew the fuse. after doing that a couple of times it just quit.

foot notes:
blowing BAS fuse @ full throttle only
bad BAS
sending it back to KB for a new one

I hated my electrical engineering classes and as a result have really know clue what all of that means, but I hope you get a working one soon.

My BAS blows fuses if I turn it up past 40. I've just been running it at about 35, which it seems to like.

So KB is going to replace yours, free? Did you have to have a sales receipt?

Man that sucks, I have my BAS set at 30 and have not had any problems."Knock on Wood"

That's cool though that KB is going to send you a new one.

Good luck
