Bobby, After I got the car running, I tried to carefully reconstruct the test process that I followed and determined the following: The intermittent condition turned into a 100% no start condition as I was testing the various components. When I got to testing the injector connector, the homemade noid light ( a line lock light with two 6" leads with the correct terminals) .......I plugged one lead into the connector and the second lead momentarily touched the intake, resulting in a quick spark. I subsequently realized that this spark was the indicator that the fuse blew.
So, I'm pretty confident that I have isolated the root cause of the blown fuse.
Also, I believe isolating the ECU ground circuit from the stud with 6 ground leads stacke up (ran ground to - battery lug) took care of the intermittent condition. This was based on advice from an Accell service rep.
Thanks for your input.
