    FuSe keeps shorting
    I have the 1998 acura 2.5 tl..

    I have checked all fuses and relays. The have continuity and the relays click as long as my 20 amp fuse( controls the cruise control, ecu and ecm) under dash isn't blown. I did the k test on the map sensors and I get a 5.4 voltage range. The fuse only blows when I actually drive the car for about 20 seconds. The fuse will not blow/short circuit if I have the car in idle, neutral, or with brakes and handbrakes on while I am accelerating. As soon as I actually drive the car for 20 seconds, the 20 amp fuse then blows and I get the check engine light on, as well as a jerking sensation from my car (probably from the fuel injection system cutting fuel to the car). What possible could be my problem. Please help!

    There's a real possibility that fuse also protects the circuit from a bad alternator, which may be shorting out. I would check out the alternator.
