1997 CRV FI E/M fuse keeps blowing, cr won't start
 

Wifes CRV was putting out 18 volts, planned to change the alternator but before I had a chnce she need to drive it and it quit on her... Just before dying: wipers, fan blower & blinkers starter working without command, the car died and she pulled off to the side of the road. The battery was smoking a little.

Now, it won't start. The wipers and blower motor work when selected. There is no spark on the plugs and the FI E/M fuse keeps blowing.

Note, the mesh looking connector on the exhaust just under the front door is 1/2 disintegrated (this exhaust problem has existed for about a week and was planned to be fixed tomorrow).

Before replacing the alternator, I need to figure out how to solve the FI E/M fuse issue, please help!

No ideas anyone??

Anybody know if a PCM from a Civic is the same as a CRV??

Anybody out there???

no help from anybody on this forum but found the problem, pcm. replaced it & fuse doesn't blow, car starts.
now to replace the alternator... that's a bugger for space to get out
