keep blowing fuses...

[Meatyshells]

i keep blowing my the fuse that controls my injectors (inj-1)

now i recently put ls1 injectors in my car and i cant find any lose wires or anything from the work i did. Is it possible that the ls1 injectors pull more power so i need to use a bigger fuse? I was told i should OHM out my injectors to see if they are good, how do i OHM them? How many OHMs should they be?

And for the time being the car is parked in an apartment complex. And i really dont want to have the car towed home. Is it possible to stick something like a paper clip that wont blow into the fuse slot just long enough to get the car home? (couple miles)?

check for ne thing that might be grounding out. look super hard. could be a tiny pin size hole.

Don't do that. Instead of a blown fuse, you will have melted wires, or even worse, possibly a fire.

Check them with a muitimeter they should be between 10-19 ohms just put one point on one side and one point on the other, you might have them crosswired or the injector is bad. Also I addded 36lb injectors and didn't have to up fuses so there is something in your wiring or a bad injector, but I would look at your wiring before anything since it is blowing fuses.

Also, I remember when I put in the 36lb injectors, I OHM tested them and wrote down the value, I think it ranged between 14 and 17, I put the highest OHM injector for the #1 cly. You might try and switch like the #1 over to #3 to see if it is the injector and also see what OHM's their at. That would explain your misfires if #1 isn't properly working it would either throw a 301 or 300 misfires. If you switch the injectors and it still does it , then it is your wiring. But since it is blowing fuses , there is something wrong somewhere in your wiring. I wouldn't run it long because you will run lean in a cylinder and blow up something.
