2001 Sentra SE 2.0 Ignition Coil Fuse blowing, no start
My 2001 Sentra SE 2.0, ignition coil fuse (15 A) blows.
New codes since the car was running without issues: P505 - Idle air control and P171 - lean bank 1. I've disconnected connectors from the following items as I read they are on the same (ignition coil) circuit: 1) EGR Volume Control Valve (rear of engine) 2) Idle Air Control Valve (lower throttle body) 3) Distributor (with integrated coil) 6 pin connector 4) Distributor 2 pin connector (single wire to this connector) Through trial and error, the Ignition Coil Fuse blows ONLY when the 2 pin connector (single wire) is connected to the distributor. The voltage on the (single wire) two pin connector is 12.4 volts. (battery less than 6 months old) My last Automotive Electrics class was in the early 1970's at Weber College in Ogden, UT. I would like to ascertain the source of my problem prior to assuming I have a shorted ignition coil. Any help for this old school guy is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Vinny |

Also, what is the purpose of the condenser (aka capacitor) mounted on the distributor (integral ignition coil)? What would cause it to short to ground?
