2001 kia rio keeps blowing out the 15 amp fuel injector fuse causing the fuel pump to shut off while Im driving with no warning. is this a fuel pump problem or fuel injector problem . I replaced fuel pump about a year and half ago I recently took the fuel pump out cleand it and the gas tank but did it again.can you help me .

hope this helps you

Hi K Jones, I'm glad to help!

The only way other then checking the resistance of each Injector would be to unplug one Injector at a time until the fuse doesn't blow then you have found the bad injector. NOTE: Don't rule out a wiring issue grounding out on the engine somewhere because this happens a lot. Hope this helps and have an awesome day K.

You may have a shortted injector. Pull all the injector connections off, put a new fuse in. If it still blows the fuse, you must have a short in the injector drive circuit from the ignition switch to the injectors. I don't know what all is in the circuit, but you may have a resistor pack before the current reaches the injectors
If the fuse did not blow, then one at a time, reconnect the injectors. You are looking for a shorted injector that blows the fuse. If the first connection blew the fuse, disconnect that one, put in a new fuse, and start with a different injector connector. You may find one that blows the fuse, meaning it is shorted, and needs replacing.
Good luck.

There is a short circuit to ground on one of the circuits that the fuse protects. I need more information about your car and exactly which fuse is blowing. (Year, Make, Model, Engine size) All of the circuits powered by that fuse must be traced to find exactly what is causing it to blow. Most of the components can be eliminated as the cause by unplugging them one at a time and checking the fuse connector with a test light. (Otherwise, you could go through a lot of fuses trying to figure it out.)

blows fuse, loss of transmission shifting automaticly, loss of heat gauge, fuel gauge, loss of speedo gauge, loss of overdrive . fuse blows when put into gear. ten amp fuse.

check in your owners manual under fuses,15 amp seems low for a fuel pump,i would think it should be at least 25amp,it will tell you what fuse feeds what and what fuse should be there

maybe your fuel pump stop working or a blown fuse for the fuel pump or ignition coil. First checked for blown fuses

Try replacing or swapping fuel pump relay its in the main fuse box close to the battery

That was exactly what the the problem used to be...THANX...Guru INDEED...
