Several days ago, I was leaving work to run home and grab my cell phone I had forgotten. As I turned out of the parking lot and onto the road, I gave the car some gas, and was shifting into third and it started spitting and sputtering, and died. I assumed I had ran the car out of gas, as I had never pushed the gas hand that far before. Ended up pushing the car into a parking lot, put some gas in it, and it still wouldn't start. Hours later, my brother and I went back and started messing with it. Found the fuse for the fuel pump to be blown.
Bought a new fuse, put it in, car fired right up immediately, excellent! Drove ~2 miles home, and the car died as I pulled into the driveway. The fuse blew again.
After a little research, it seems it would be caused by a faulty ground, or possibly a CCRM problem. This was an all of the sudden thing when it happened, I've owned the car 5 years almost and have never messed with the fuel pump so I don't se the ground being the problem.
What could it be? Trying to eliminate simple stuff before jerking the CCRM out and dropping $150 when it doesn't fix the issue.
