Default Need some handa guru help please.

Ok lets start im a Honda no-nothing.


I have a 88 integra beater car. I bought it for 500.00 its worked great till recently. Its a 5 speed if that matters at all.


Anyways about 4 months ago i drove it home and went out the next day and nothing. Ok battery is dead maybe i left the lights on or something.


Jump it and all it does is turn over.

Ok check fuses and the "efi" fuse is blown.

Replace fuse runs for like 30 seconds and dies. Never to run again.


Took to my mechanic basicly figures its a short someplace and unhooks a bunch of things trying to see if after he unplugs it weather its the alternator, fans, fuel pump, anything electrical but no matter what it would blow the fuse.


So for the heck of it i hit up ebay and bought a used ecu for 50.00 and wham it started right up. Put a new battery in it since the last one was put through hell and all. Left it at his shop for 9 hours cause i had to go to work. Picked it up it started right up and drove it home.


Went out this mourning and it didnt start.


Im open for suggestions. My next step is to have the alternator checked to see if its drawing off the battery but i would figure it would have been dead since it sat for 9 hours to begin with.
