As the title says, The car starts, idles, revs fine.
As I push the clutch in, and put the car into gear (does the same thing in 1st and reverse), she still will idle & rev fine. It's the second I release the clutch while in gear that the car will completely die.

I have found that everytime this happens (the car dies while trying to move in gear), the "ign cont eccs" fuse blows.

Any thoughts? Does the "IGN CONT ECCS" circuit power anything in the tranny/diff/drivetrain.

Thanks

the only thing i can think of is the clutch switch? thats weird tho

 

Turns out it was a combination of 2 factors. The diff mounts were trashed and the diff was moving all over the place under load. Whenever it saw load, it would physically twist, hit the exhaust, which would in turn push the rear exhaust hanger of my Greddy setup into the back of the EVAP solenoid connector. This had happened so many times that the +12v to going into the back of the connector was worn down to the wire and was shorting out. I just happened to be the same white wire with blue strip/circuit that powered the ECU, Coil packs, and numerous other things in the car.

Loosening the hanger, moving it a bit to the side where it wouldnt hit the connector anymore then retightening did the trick.

 

Wow. Interesting. Glad you got it figured out.
