my car died while driving down the highway mspnp gen 2 in a 92 1.6
 
It was pretty odd the tach didn't immediately drop but it was obvious I had lost power. I checked everything I could think of and finally pulled the carpet and cover to see the led on the mspnp and its getting no power. At first I thought it was the fuel pump but the no power to the ecu could explain that. My wife picked up a main relay for me. The replacement for b6s8 after I checked all of the fuses.

I put in the relay and still the ms shows no power. I noticed some sort of crud or corrosion on one of the blades of the relay and in the slot but I'm not sure if that's the cause of the issue.

The car has been running the mspnp gen 2 for months and before that the original mspnp. No changes in the last week or so. The car has power and sounds like it wants to start but doesn't. And again the LEDs on the pnp do not light.

Still connect to tunerstudio?

No not ta all no power to the MS, but the other accessories seem to be fine.

Check the EGI and engine fuses.

That what I thought, I replaced that relay with the new replacement the SE16 but it didn't work. Should I try and find the older one just to see if maybe the relays are in fact different.

Just to rule out the MSPNP I connected the stock computer with both the old EFI Relay, and the new SE16 relay, the results were the same. So I guess the next thing I need to figure out is whats causing the ECU to not get power. When I turn the ignition I hear a click under the hood, but I don't know what its coming from.

I changed the relay where might I find the fuse?

Should be under the dash on the driver's side, right above the dead pedal.

I looks like the solution was both the EFI relay, and the 30 amp pink FI fuse/fusiable link in the engine bay. I noticed the 30amp was broken last night and swapped the FI link and the Headlight link I believe. After that I saw two of the LED's on the MSPnP light up green. I'm going to get a replacement today and try starting the car now that the ECU has power.
