my car is still not running. but now it seems electrical. when my car is on, it says the right blinker is on (but the blinker isnt blinking), my abs light is on, my high beem light is dim but on. now, when my headlights are on the left one works fine and the right one is very very dim, when i turn on the high beams only the left one goes on high and the right one shuts off completely. the fog lights only fully work when the high beam is on.
now back to the other problems... after i start the car i can drive it around without problems, but after i stop and let it idle for about 4 minutes or so the rpms go up down and the car dies. however, it has died on me while i was driving it b4.
i also hear a weird noise comming from the engine bay(i think its comming from there), not a chirp like a whining noise.
im sure i can think of more late, but please help me if u have any info on what the problem may be.
oooh, i checked the fuses and 2 were blown i believe a 20 and 15 amp. i replaced them but it didnt change anything. ok ty for any help.

Just reading it, you have a short somewhere. Look at the harness for chaffing/rubbing or cuts.
make sure those fuses you replaced are the correct amperage rating... It's ok to use a lower amperage fuse, but not a higher rated one as a replacement!

find out why the fuses blew, as chances are after you replaced them they blew again...
what did you do to the car before this started happening? install an amp, speakers...?

yes, the fuel pump is electric, and the engine receives spark from electric as well.
if you have a nasty electrical short, it would make everything go wacko

Check your ground wires too. I had the same problem with my work truck. Found it was a ground at the frame.
