First off each fuse has a name , so what is the correct name, the 92
has 3 EFI fuses, DOME (memory) IG-Coil (ecu and spark) and "FI"
never up the amps ever or burn the wires up. sorry but that is a FACT. the a above data is wrong, this cars pump draws 4amps.
if more its bad, sure if over 15 it blows, but is a bad pump.
all pumps like to do that, they burn up and suck power, like a piggy.
see your fuse here, linked,
this car and ECU nor know for shorted pumps and shorted ECU
the 92 uses these JUNK brand caps, large electrolytic caps.
and they love to short, on all 89 to 95 trackers and sidekicks in usa.
they are marked Rubycon.

so again which fuse?
ill pretend its FI blown

http://www.fixkick.com/power-elect/blows-fuse.html#FI_blows

FI is bottom right, lost the cover? now you have one.
http://www.fixkick.com/Elect-fail-index.html

is engine 8 valve or 16?, they have different EFI , systems.
Im sure its FI, as it runs ECU and pump. so..... and they love to blow.
92 geo tracker keeps blowing fuel fuse 15 amp but  - 25388833-rc0a3iye2lzfx2xdaq3zufia-1-0.jpg

ok i throw dice for you, land on 8v.
see 8v FI fuse here?
http://www.fixkick.com/ECU/8v-tbi-schematic91to95.jpg

what i do is remove the left rear tail light,lens.
then see the pink pump wires, I measure the pump current
i reads 4 amps, with helper keying on over and over.
see?
now if near 4amps, then the ECU is shortings it CORNER cap.
http://www.fixkick.com/ECU/ECU.html

the caps dry out,inside, leak acid , wreck copper traces
and then the cap shorts, some times , it loves to short on speed bumps. due to vibration, its just a bad 50 cent part
that any tech can change or any HAM radio guy, etc.
with simple soldering tools and skills
do tell engine type G16a or b (a= 8v, and b = 16v) and we can
point to exact part bad.

So your fuel pump is pulling more than 15 amps but less than 20. Good news is you dont have a short. You may have wiring issue, as in corrosion in a connector and corroded ground wire connection. Or it may be that the fuel pump is getting wore out and just pulling a little more than it should. I would check the ground wire connection to the frame.

On my 92 geo tracker wair would i find my ground wiers for my fuel sistem (grawend to frain ) ?

Generally speaking, fuel tanks have 4 wires coming out of the top of them, 2 for gas gauge, 2 for fuel pump, one power and one ground, the ground is usually attached to the frame close by the tank somewhere. Just need to find the harness and follow it.

I started my 92' Geo Tracker and started down my drive way when it just cut off. Now it will not start back, it is getting fire to the distributor cap,is full of gas and wil turn over but not start! Please...

Is the fuel pump running? When you turn the key to the run position (the dash lights come on), you should hear a humming sound coming from the gas tank for a few seconds. Thats the fuel pump running to pressurize the system before starting. It's kind of hard to hear, so get a friend to sit in the car while you lay on the ground near the gas tank. Have them turn on the key and listen. No hum means the fuel pump isnt working.

1992 Geo Tracker keeps blowing fuse for ignition coi/meter(15 amp)-Checked wiring harness and components and no problems found-Will usually run for 1 to 2 weeks then blow fuse several times-then will run...

could be the main computer - but last time a saw - they where over a $1000.00 dollars. suggest finding some one to install a matching amperage circuit breaker in place of fuse. it will trip and automatically reset - caution : if problem gets worse, could cause wire melting and fire

HOW DO I TELL IF MY FUEL PUMP IS BAD. MY CAR STALLED AND BLEW A 15 AMP FUSE TO MY FUEL PUMP. COULD IT BE SOMTHING ELSE?

well it could be a bad wire to fuel pump....or pump is old and drawing to much current......replace 15 amp fuse and test for fuel if it blows again u can try a 20 amp fuse in place of the 15 amp ......but only to determine if pump is still pumping fuel b4 you turn on key disconnect fuel sending line to engine and get a bucket .......try turning it over and see if fuel is pumped into the bucket ....if 20 amp fuse works chances are your wiring is good....and u need a new pump good luck let me know how u make out

I need to replace fuses so i would need the fuse map to do so

louiseme: your fuse box is on the driver's side of the car under the dash. Usually there is a cover to show what circuits go where.
However, if you do not have a cover I will do my best to orient you to the box and what fuses serve what circuits.
Your box is made up of two rows of fuses , 7 on each side.
In looking at it you will see the left row will have three 15 amp, one 25 amp, one 20 amp and 0ne 15 amp fuse.
The right side will have: five 15 amp and two 20 amp fuses.
On the right side the top 15 amp fuse is the left head light, next 15 amp fuse below it is the right head lamp. The 15 amp fuse below it is for the tail lamps and dome lamps. 15 amp below that is stop lights and horn. 15 below is hazard, 20 is door locks , 20 radio and cigar
On the left, top 15 amp is ign coil and meters, 15 below is turn signals and back ups, 15 below is wiper washer, 15 below rear defog, 25 amp below heater, 20 amp below AWAL, 15 amp below is FI. Beyond this I need more specifics about your problem to help you
