what are you asking on here for if its at the auto sparky ? sounds a lot like the electrical acceries fuse . or one of them . did you notice if the tail lights still worked ?

well, initially they changed the fuse and it blew again when i drove it down the road...

he is gonna keep the car over night because he couldnt figure it out straight away.

just wondering if others have had similar issues

was anything changed prior to that happening? e.g. a recent a/v install or accessories add on?

I got the ipod installed and the GPS is after market. however, those have been cleared by the mechanic.

guess this isnt a common problem.

fingers crossed that this doesnt cost me a $$$$$$

its a fuse. now to be wore exact its the main acc fuse in the drivers panel and the ONLY way that pops is if someone has fiddled with that circuit.

now if you have EVERY thing else there then its a unit fault and I fix those.

just had same issue happened to just two days ago...

centre console suddenly lost power for split sec, then back on again for few minute, then repeat for about 3 times before its completed out:

-lost power on centre console, cant do anything to music and aircon - but aircon still running as normal (still feel cold air out from vent)

-no light on speedo

then I stopped on the side of the road, shut the engine down...left for about 30sec and turn the engine on and everything back to normal :D

i've only got the ipod connector installed

still be fuse even tho it did come back normal?

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
    • Couple of litres of moonshine from his southern cousins would do it...
