My EFI fuse keeps blowing in my 2000 Toyota Camry LE 6-cylinder. It normal blows out when I'm making a turn or when I was press the gas pedal. I have been having his problem for a while but I have just been replacing the EFI fuse by myself and my check engine comes off but after a few days it come back on again. How do I fix this problem is it a way to fix this problem by myself or do I have to get an mechanic to do it for me?

Found out this is what the fuse is doing so these will need to be checked.
Circuit Opening Relay ( fuel pump relay) (most come to fail or sort out)
Data Link Connector 1
ECM E4-E7
Fuel Pump
Heated O2 Sensors (both)
IAC valve
Mass Air Flow Sensor ( low voltage)
VSV (EGR) (these can get a fault)
VSV (EVAP)
VSV (Vapor Pressure)
EFI Relay (point side)
relay for pump this can sort out if it becomes damaged. EGR can fail at any time when engine is hot. also check the wiring under the dash board near to the clutch pedal the wiring is prom to fall and get caught up in the clutch mechanism and sort out the pump relay. . so would check there first.

- The fuse you are using may be under rated.
- Extra load on the circuit. After market appliance may have been connected to this circuit.
- Short circuit in wiring harness. Positive wire shorted to ground.

SOURCE: 1990 toyota pickup 3.0 v6,engine

This is an unfortunatly common problem with this vehicle, if my hypothesis is correct. Try this: disconnect the wiring connector going to the fuel tank, under the bed. Replace the fuse and crank the engine. If the fuse does not blow, then the power wire going to the fuel tank sending unit is shorted out to ground. I change about 15-20 fuel sending units a year for this exact same issue. Replace the fuel tank sending unit if the fuse does not blow. When you get it out, you will see the cause of the short, rust at the connection on top of the sending unit. Hope this helps.

88 toyota pick up v6 keeps blowing efi fuse

you may have a short of some kind, when a fuse blows repeatedly it is no good just replacing, you are being told that something is wrong with the equipment.
You will almost certainly have to visit a technician for a diagnosis. It is unlikely to be something that an inexperienced end user can sort out I am afraid.

GOOD LUCK

1999 Toyota camry. Automatic trans. Blows fuel pump fuse when shifting into drive. Checked wiring. What else can it be?

Robert: According to CarGurus.com: " I agree it may not be your fuel pump. You can access the pump under your back seat, underneath the cloth under there. You will iummediately see the plug and the screws to open the little hatch. My 1986 Camry also has a problem with not getting any fuel and thought it was the fuel pump. turns out I keep blowing my efi fuse so i unplug the power wires to the fuel pump and it still keeps blowing the 51a efi fuse. So we have narrowed it down to being an electrical problem. We think it is a shortage or a bad relay. So do not instantly run out and think it is your fuel pump. If you are blowing fuses unplug the power wires to the fuel pump and try to crank the car if the fuse still blows then it is not a bad pump, if it does not blow then there is a shortage in the wires in your fuel pump. Hope this helps I will let you know exactly what the elctrical problem is in my car once we do a complete run down."

EFI fuse keeps blowing in 1998 Camry

There is only ONE reson why a fuse blows: Something is overloading the circuit and drawing more amperage than the fuse is designed to handle. This is what is known as an "overload" or a "short circuit".

Plesase read the following two articles:
Where's the fuse?
What else could be wrong?

If after reading these two articles, you think you would like to try your hand at tracking this down and fixing it yourself, and you are sure you have the correct equipment (as listed in the articles), let me know and I will help walk you through it.
