n14 keeps blowing fuse next to ecm

Hello,

I have a no start issue with the starter engaging and turning engine over, but not firing.

Mechanic advised to check all fuses, including the one near the ecm. As luck would have it, it was blown 10A.

I replaced it, but as soon as i hit starter it blows.

What would cause this to happen.

 

fuel, engine oil and anti-freeze are topped up.

 

i guess internet forums are a little different. one site will always say check fluids first.
"i have a flat tire, check your fluids."

a car wrecked beyond repair
"it'll buff out"

i was just stating the very obvious.

as for my mechanical abilities, i have changed injectors on this engine as well as resealed the cam shaft followers. so, no i guess i dont know much.

 

see above on fluids. thanks for your info. im checking it next.

i am also noticing that my lcd display on the left hand does not light up or show any codes. it is dead, usually i get voltage info and mpg etc.

i had 2 extra 10a fuses. and know to not put any higher rated ones. i learned the hard way when i was younger.

ps. im typing in android fone so ignore caps/spelling etc.

 

ok. ive checked everything i could and used a voltmeter to measure continuity on battery cables. everything was good.

can the starter be the culprit? wow. this has me stumped. i remember a month ago i turned key and no go. i tapped starter with hammer and cranked fine till now. this is on a starter that was installed rebuilt on 7/1/2010.
